#2 David Willey

had set his base price at 2 crore — David Willey can also contribute with the bat as well

English pacer and Mitchell Johnson’s teammate in the Big Bash League (BBL), David Willey is another bowler who can replace him.

Like Johnson, Willey too is a left-armer and plays for the Perth Scorchers. The 28-year-old had set his base price at two crores which ultimately proved to be too much for the franchises to give it a go.

Apart from being a great exponent of swing bowling, the Leeds-based cricketer can make good use of the long handle as well.

His all-around abilities can come in handy for the KKR side where he, along with Andre Russell, can contribute some useful runs lower down the order.
