In IPL, overseas players do not even form half the playing eleven, but they are a critical cog in the wheel of a team's fortune. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/sports/cricket/ipl-2026-overseas-stars-jacob-bethell-cameron-green-gcay3hzl?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #JacobBethell #CameronGreen #OverseasPlayers #IPL2026 #IPLNews

Just looked up the records of Blair Tickner, the New Zealand seamer playing for Derbyshire. He has 251 FC wickets at 34.22 a piece from 83 matches (so just barely three scalps per match average, one whole wicket per match below my standard for a specialist bowler). These figures would be indifferent for a home player. For an overseas player, doubtless being paid better than a home one, they are quite frankly a disgrace.
