Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have a lot of thinking to do before the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction, which is scheduled to take place on December 19 in Dubai. SRH released six players before the auction, including Harry Brook, for whom they shelled out INR 13.25 crore last time around. Aiden Markram, Glenn Phillips, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Marco Jansen remain amongst their top players.
They also released Adil Rashid, Akeal Hosein, Kartik Tyagi, Samarth Vyas and Vivrant Sharma before the auction. Mayank Agarwal, Umran Malik, Rahul Tripathi and Bhuvneshwar Kumar remain as their key players of the Indian contingent.
SRH had forgetful season last year. The Orange Army won only four out of 14 matches and looked out of sorts throughout. The fact that Harry Brook failed to live up to expectations was a big concern for them. Express pacer Umran Malik also had a poor season and was dropped midway through the season. Meanwhile, SRH have traded in Shahbaz Ahmed from the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
