Shane Watson is now the assistant coach of the Kolkata Knight Riders. He could have in mind a few Aussies to get on board at KKR. Here, we take a look at the list of three Australian cricketers Shane Watson could target for KKR.
KKR is likely to have a good purse. Hence, they can go after the players they like. KKR needs some strong overseas players to add strength to the squad, and hence, some signings will be vital.
1) Matt Short
Matt Short might not be as good a spinner as Moeen Ali. However, he compensates it with his batting. Hence, KKR could plan to sign Matt Short by releasing Moeen Ali, who was poor last season.
2) Cameron Green is one of the Australian cricketers Shane Watson could target for KKR
With the release of Venkatesh Iyer, it is inevitable that KKR goes after Green. He is one of the best all-rounders in the game right now. KKR needs some players for the future, and Green could be ideal here.
3) Ben Dwarshuis
Spencer Johnson could be release,d and KKR could eye Ben. He is Australia’s lead left-arm pacer in T20Is right now. Also, he adds a bit of value with the bat. Hence, he could be needed by KKR at the Eden Gardens.
