Lucknow Super Giants trade Romario Shepherd to Mumbai Indians

Lucknow Super Giants trade Romario Shepherd to Mumbai Indians

Lucknow Super Giants have traded West Indies allrounder Romario Shepherd to Mumbai Indians ahead of the IPL 2024 auction. Shepherd had played just one game for Super Giants in IPL 2023, when he didn't bowl a single over and was dismissed for a duck, against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Lucknow.

The ten IPL franchises were originally supposed to submit the list of players they are releasing and retaining on November 15, but it is understood that the deadline has been deferred to November 26, a week after the World Cup final in Ahmedabad.

The IPL player auction will be held on December 19 in Dubai. It is the first time that the auction will be held overseas.

Shepherd is a familiar name in the T20 franchise circuit. In September earlier this year, he won the CPL title with Guyana Amazon Warriors, his home franchise in the league. He was also one of Joburg Super Kings' direct signings ahead of the inaugural SA20 auction.

His primary role in white-ball cricket is to hit the deck with the ball and smash sixes lower down the order. He has played 31 T20Is so far and has a batting strike rate of 153.57 and a bowling economy rate of 10.38.
