IPL Auction 2020: 5 English bowlers to watch out for

#4 Pat Brown

Brown has a fine record with Worcestershire

While the three names on this list so far are all bowlers who have enjoyed success because of their quite remarkable pace, this is not the case for Brown though. The right-arm bowler rarely goes far above 80 mph, but has still had an awful lot of domestic success over the past couple of years.

In the 2018 Blast, he took 31 wickets in 16 matches, at least six more than any other bowler in the competition, as his Worcestershire Rapids side claimed their first T20 title. Brown didn’t enjoy quite the same level of success the following season but was still an important part of Worcestershire’s run to the final.

The 21-year-old’s success comes almost entirely from his variations, and ability to make subtle changes to his pace, and that has helped him claim numerous wickets over the past couple of seasons. Brown is still young, so it is early for him to be thrown into the pressure valve of the IPL, but so far in his career, he has dealt with everything that has come his way.
