Team Ahmedabad will announce its official name by Monday. While it was expected that they will meet the January 31 deadline, they have been granted an exemption probably due to the delay in the legal clearance. The other new franchise Lucknow has already revealed its official name and logo.
While an official announcement is still awaited, all-rounder Hardik Pandya is set to lead the Ahmedabad franchise. The 28-year-old hasn't been in prime form lately and was even released by the Mumbai Indians but has managed to attract the think tank of the Ahmedabad team.
The salary of three draft picks of the Ahmedabad franchise will reportedly be:
Rashid Khan - 15 cr
Hardik Pandya - 15 cr
Shubman Gill - 7 cr
Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill and Rashid Khan are set to join the Ahmedabad IPL franchise for 2022 edition.
After it was earlier reported that Rashid Khan is linked with a move to Ahmedabad, the latest update reveals that the franchise has sent the final contract to Afghan leg-spinner. They are seemingly ahead of Lucknow in securing the services of Rashid, who could be their star signing alongside Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan.
The Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) might host the 15th edition of the Indian T20 League in South Africa or Sri Lanka if the COVID-19 situation in India does not normalize.
The Ahmedabad franchise is apparently close to finalising deal with Ishan Kishan. "The franchise has almost finalised its deal with Afghan spin sensation Rashid Khan and dashing keeper-batter Ishan Kishan as their second and third picks from the draft. As of now, that’s what is finalised unless there are changes at the last moment," a BCCI source was quoted in a PTI report.
