In this age of leg-spin dominance, it is tough for franchises to find capable off-spinners who could take the game away from the opposition. The teams who are looking for someone of that sort should be monitoring Jozi Stars' Simon Harmer.

As a captain, the 30-year-old was a crucial part of the Essex Eagles, who won the 2019 Vitality Blast. It was the team's maiden title victory and Harmer's astute captaincy was an important part of their success.

Harmer's performances were brilliant throughout the season as he took 17 wickets in 14 matches. In the semi-final and final which happened on the same day, the spinner picked up seven wickets in total and won the Player of the Match awards in both matches.

The off-spinner was in spectacular form in the 2019 County season as well, finishing as the highest wicket-taker with 83 dismissals in 14 matches. Helping the Jozi Stars with similar noteworthy performances would help Harmer to get an IPL contract.
