IPL: Famous English cricketers who have never featured in the tournament

Graeme Swann

Graeme Swann

The former number ranked 1 bowler was one of the finest off-spinners England have ever produced. Swann was the first English spinner to take 50 wickets in a calendar year, a feat he achieved in 2009. The off-spinner who played for Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire in the domestic circuit took a total of 51 wickets in 39 T20 matches at an impressive economy of 6.36.

Swann played a crucial role in England’s 2010 ICC T20 World Cup win in the Caribbean, finishing the tournament with ten wickets to his name. This was England's first-ever major ICC title win in their storied history. Swann announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in 2013.

He loved bowling in Indian conditions but, unfortunately, fans in the country never got an opportunity to witness the Englishman's magic with the ball in the IPL.
