IPL 2020: 5 players who could attract the franchises during MSL 2019

#1 Jean-Paul Duminy

JP Duminy

JP Duminy is an IPL veteran with 83 matches, and 2029 runs to his name. The proteas all-rounder was one of the best players for Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) during the 2014 and 2015 seasons, where he notched 410 and 414 runs, respectively.

Fast forward to 2019, Duminy found no buyer in the IPL auction due to his mediocre performance with the Mumbai Indians in the 2018 season. However, a return to the IPL could be possible for Duminy in 2020.

During the 2019 Global T20 League Canada, the left-handed batsman scored 332 runs in 8 matches - the tournament's high score - for the series-winning Winnipeg Hawks. As a result, he won the Player of the Tournament award.

Duminy was also part of the 2019 CPL title winners Barbados Tridents, for whom he scored a record 15-ball half-century. If Duminy yields similar performances for the Paarl Rocks in the 2019 MSL, his IPL possibilities would further improve.

Although the veteran is 35, his IPL experience and current form increase his chances of grabbing the franchises' attention. Since he has retired from international cricket, his focus would solely be on IPL.
