IPL Auction 2020: 5 English bowlers to watch out for

#5 Matt Parkinson

Parkinson took four wickets in his second international t20 match

The only spinner on this list, and probably the next man in line if England turn to another spinner, either in Test cricket, or in T20s. Parkinson has also found himself in contention for England at a time when leg-spinners have never been valued higher, especially in white-ball cricket. Although he still has all the variations of the top leg spinners around right now, Parkinson bowls much slower, which can help to outfox the batsman and earn him a lot of wickets.

The 23-year-old made his international debut against New Zealand earlier this month and took five wickets in the two games that he played. The issue for Parkinson is that if bought in the auction, this will be the first time he has played in India, and we have seen a number of young spinners struggle on their first experience of playing in Asia. It may be that this tournament has come a year early for Parkinson, but he could still prove to be a great buy if given an opportunity.
