Sunrisers Hyderabad Retained & Released Players List For IPL 2022
Bengaluru, November 30: Ahead of the upcoming mega-auction for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday (November 30) retained three players from their IPL 2021 squad.
The retention lists of all eight existing Indian Premier League (IPL) teams are out! With a mega auction taking place ahead of IPL 2022, all sides were allowed to retain a maximum of just four players, out of which only two can be foreigners. While several sides used their retention cards to retain prominent players, some showcased faith on their youngsters.
Sunrisers Hyderabad belongs to the latter category. Skipper Kane Williamson is the side’s only retention among capped players and he’s set to get a sum of INR 14 crore in the upcoming season. Pacer Umran Malik and hard-hitter Abdul Samad are the side’s other two retentions. With the duo being uncapped, they will get INR 4 crore apiece as season salary. For the unversed, SRH endured a horrendous campaign in the 2021 edition of the competition. The side struggled to find their best combination throughout the competition and lost one game after another.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Retention List:
- Retention 1 – Kane Williamson – INR 14 crore
- Retention 2 – Umran Malik – INR 4 crore
- Retention 3 – Abdul Samad – INR 4 crore
- Purse Remaining – INR 68 crore
SRH now have a total of INR 68 crore in their salary purse and it would be interesting to see how they’ll build their squad. Notably, Rashid isn’t likely to land in the auction pool as the two new franchises – based in Lucknow and Ahmedabad respectively – can pick a maximum of three players from the non-retained players ahead of the bidding event.
