Big money contracts with IPL teams means some stars will abandon their home teams in the CLT20. HT takes a look...
Brad Haddin
Home: NSW; Opts for: KKR
His IPL stint was cut short to one match due to a finger injury. But Kolkata will need the 'keeper's experience.
Doug Bollinger
Home: NSW; Opts for: CSK
With 17 wkts at 19.35 each and an eco rate of 7 in IPL season, he's the hot pick for the CLT20.
Brett Lee
Home: NSW; Opts for: KKR
The Aussie was below par for his new IPL team this year. With 5 wickets in 12 games @ 67 he was expensive too.
Jacques Kallis
Home: Warriors; Opts: KKR
After a bland show for RCB, he was superb at the top for his new employers, giving them solid & flying starts.
Davy Jacobs
Home: Warriors; Opts for: MI
Was hired for his impressive T20 record for the Warriors. In IPL though, he got just 6 games but didn't impress.
Dwayne Bravo
Home: T&T; Opts for: CSK
A strong CSK batting didn't give him much chance to bat in IPL. His bowling though was pretty useful.
Kieron Pollard
Home: T&T; Opts for: MI
Was splendid at the IPL last year. A dangerous batsman, handy bowler & a livewire on field. Complete T20 product.
Aiden Blizzard
Home: Redbacks; Opts: MI
Can pump up the scoring rate whenever needed. Lack of opportunities for MI meant he couldn't prove his mettle.
Suraj Randiv
Home: Ruhuna; Opts: CSK
The spinner was expected to fill the boots of Murali in CSK but couldn't do much with the opportunities he got.
