His ball-striking ability is evident in the way he goes about his game and he has tons of T20 experience to go along with it. Having already played for the Delhi Daredevils in the IPL, Neesham knows what the league demands and while he may not have been up to the task then, he definitely is now.

He picked up 11 wickets from 10 games in CPL 2019 playing for the Trinbago Knight Riders at a good bowling average of 26.50 while scoring some handy runs with the bat. He has made some big scores with the bat in T20 cricket and continues to be a perfect all-rounder in the limited overs format.

After going unsold last season, Neesham has everything going for him to land a huge IPL contract this season.
