IPL history: Kochi Tuskers Kerala squad - Where are they now?

#16 Steve O' Keefe

Steve O' Keefe was one of the few players who did not make it to the playing XI inspite of being a part of the Kochi Tuskers Kerala squad

Steve O' Keefe, the Australian spin bowling all-rounder was a part of the Kochi Tuskers Kerala squad in the IPL 2011. Till date, Kochi Tuskers Kerala is the only franchise that the Malaysia-born player has been a part of. The left-arm orthodox spinner has never played an IPL match in his career.

Kochi Tuskers Kerala picked him up in the auction at a price of $ 20,000. However, all O' Keefe did was warm the bench the entire season. With a ton of talent present in the Kochi Tuskers Kerala squad, the Aussie could never make it to the playing XI.

O'Keefe proved to be a great spinner for Australia in test match cricket as he has 35 wickets to his name in the 9 matches he played. However, his last international appearance for Australia came way back in September 2017 in a test match against Bangladesh.
