3 players Punjab Kings (PBKS) might trade ahead of IPL 2023
New head-coach Trevor Bayliss is looking to make multiple changes in the squad.
2. Odean Smith
Known for bowling heavy balls and smashing big sixes, Odean Smith could be considered an asset in the T20 game. Punjab Kings went all out to secure the signing of the Caribbean all-rounder in the auction for IPL 2022 and spent INR 6 crore.
However, the big all-rounder from West Indies could not contribute much as he scored only 51 runs in 6 matches. Meanwhile, scalped 6 wickets in those games at a very expensive economy rate of 11.86.
Odean Smith is a utility player in the shorter format of the game and a number of franchises need such a player. All these teams can match the asking price of INR 6 crore for the player and Punjab Kings will be happy to let the player go in the trading window ahead of IPL 2023.
