New Delhi, Nov 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) Two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders have retained the West Indies duo of Andre Russell and Sunil Narine, while releasing 12 players, including India all-rounder Shardul Thakur and New Zealand pacer Lockie Ferguson.
On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have let go of six players, including England batter Harry Brook and uncapped India pacer Kartik Tyagi. Ferguson played only three matches last season due to a hamstring injury, which was also the reason for Thakur missing a few matches in IPL 2023. Umesh Yadav and Tim Southee have also been released by KKR.
