IPL Auction 2018: 5 oldest foreigners on the auction list

#4 Marlon Samuels (36 years 11 months)

Samuels started his IPL career with the Pune Warriors

It seems as if Marlon Samuels has been international cricket forever. The veteran all-rounder made his debut for the West Indies in 2000 and was earmarked for a bright future for the country. While his career never took off as it promised, Samuels has hung around, delivering clutch performances through strings of inconsistency.

Not a compulsive hitter of the ball, Samuels can anchor the innings together when needed, although his bowling has been forever shrouded with the stigma of chucking.

He made his IPL debut with the Pune Warriors in 2012 and played eight games for the side. He was part of the Delhi Daredevils until last year, called in as a replacement for the injured Quinton de Kock.

Even at Rs. 50 Lakh, accommodating Samuels, who'll turn 37 by the time the IPL starts, by one of the franchises, seems fairly unlikely.
