Playing in the Indian Premier League IPL, the mega cricket event, is a dream for cricketers. In addition to the honour, there is a lot of money. In the first edition of his IPL career, New Zealand pace star Kyle Jamieson made a big splash by selling for Rs 15 crore. In 2021, he played for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Last time in the IPL auction, there was a storm for him, but Jamison could not perform that way on the field. The New Zealand pacer took 9 wickets in 9 matches at an economy rate of 9.60. However, regular international cricket performer Jamieson did not give his name during the current season. This fast bowler is to pay extra attention to his Test career.
New Zealand cricket coach Gary Stead was impressed with Kyle Jamieson’s decision. Gary hailed his decision as “courageous”. He said: ”For someone of Kyle’s (Jamison) age, this step is very bold. He had some experience there and realised what he had to do as a cricketer. He wants to play for New Zealand in all editions, but Test cricket is paramount to him. ”
“He is OK. I talked to him. I don’t think too many cricketers today will do what he did without putting his name in the auction. I congratulate him on how he has been caring for himself in Test cricket. “
Kyle Jamieson has played 14 Tests for the Kiwis since his debut in 2020. The pacer has taken 66 wickets at an average of 18.7 in 2.58 economy.
