The recent trade of West Indies player Romario Shepherd from Lucknow SuperGiants to Mumbai Indians before the IPL 2024 auction has got a lot of cricket fans interested. Shepherd didn’t play much last season, only in one match for the Super Giants, where he didn’t do well and got out early against Sunrisers Hyderabad. That might be one of the possible reasons for why the team decided to trade him.
Romario Shepherd is now part of the Mumbai Indians family
The date for IPL teams to give in their lists of players they want to keep and those they want to let go has been extended from November 15 to November 26. This change happened because of the World Cup final, which is happening in Ahmedabad. Teams now have more time to think about who they want to keep and who they might want to trade.
The upcoming IPL player auction on December 19 is making history as it will take place in Dubai. This shows that the IPL is becoming more popular worldwide and is one of the best T20 cricket leagues in the world.
Shepherd has done really well in different T20 franchise tournaments, which has made him a valuable player in this type of cricket. Winning the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) with the Guyana Amazon Warriors recently showed how good he is in T20 games. Also, being picked by the Joburg Super Kings for the SA20 tournament proves that he is becoming more popular in different cricket leagues.
Famous for his strong hits with the bat and good bowling, Shepherd has shown impressive skills in the 31 T20 international matches he has played. With a high batting strike rate of 153.57 and a bowling economy rate of 10.38, he has proved himself as a strong all-rounder in white-ball cricket, able to help his team succeed.
