JAMMU, Dec 19: For their consistent performances at the domestic circuit, two cricketers from Jammu and Kashmir Rasikh Salam and Abid Mushtaq have managed to secure spots in the Indian Premier League (IPL)-2024, while another talented cricketer from J&K, Vibrant Sharma went unsold, while no other players’ name from Jammu came at the auction table.
Abid, a left-arm spinning all-rounder from Doda, has been picked up by the Rajasthan Royals at his base price of Rs 20 Lakhs, while speedster Rasikh, who has earlier featured in Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders teams, has been bought by Delhi Capitals at his base price of Rs. 20 Lakhs.
Right-arm medium pacer Rasikh was the standout performer for J&K in the recently held Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy, while Abid, apart from performing well this season, also has the distinction of capturing 32 wickets for J&K in the last year’s Ranji Trophy, besides being part of Australian team as net bowler for India tour last year. Rasikh has the honour of impressing the likes of Indian skipper Rohit Sharma when he was part of Mumbai Indians before two seasons.
