The dates for the 2020 edition of Indian Premier League auctions have been announced. In a stark contrast from the past, the BCCI has decided to stage the marquee event in Kolkata. So, with the dates having been announced, the talent Scouts of each of the eight franchises have gone overdrive in search of new talents who are performing in the leagues likes PSL, CPL, Big Bash, etc.

Pakistan Super League has been enthralling so far and has some exceptional stars who entertain the cricket aficionados. PSL produced exciting cricket in the previous seasons and a few overseas cricketing talents even went on to play the cash-rich Indian T20 League. But, a few of them are not a part of the IPL at the moment.

So, keeping this in mind, we at CricTracker thought of making a list of 5 PSL overseas stars who should play in the 2020 edition of the IPL.

Here&#8217;s the compilation

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-310432" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Tamim-Iqbal.jpg" alt="Tamim Iqbal" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-310432" class="wp-caption-text">Tamim Iqbal.

When you talk about the destructive batsmen to have come out from Asia in the past twenty years, Sanath Jayasuriya, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma instantly come to mind. But the list is incomplete without the addition of the flamboyant left-handed batsmen: Tamim Iqbal.

He may not be in the best of forms currently, but when on the song, the southpaw is a sight to behold. No Indian fan can ever forget the six that he hit over long-on against the bowling of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ishant-sharma-reveals-the-earliest-advice-zaheer-khan-gave-him-in-his-career/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Zaheer Khan</a> in that heartbreaking 2007 World Cup game. And, yet it has been a mystery of sorts as to why Tamim hasn&#8217;t played in the Indian Premier League.

The left-hander, who turned out for Peshawar Zalmi during the 2017 edition, was the second-highest run-scorer [161 runs at 32.20] for the franchise and was one of the cornerstones in his franchise making it all the way to the finals. The likes of Royal Challengers Bangalore has perennially struggled with their opening combination in the past few years, and the left-hander could just prove to be an ideal pick for them.

Overall, in 191 T20s, Tamim has accumulated 5225 runs at an average of 30.20 and a strike-rate of 120.14. The Southpaw has also racked up 33 half-centuries and three hundred.

There is literally nothing Ravi Bopara can&#8217;t do these days. He can be an outstanding finisher and an equally potent death bowler at the same time. Essex knows. T20 Blast knows it. The Pakistan Super League also knows it. For, both of these leagues have been privy to his all-round brilliance.

Bopara played for the Karachi Kings during the 2016 season and was handed over the leadership duty midway through the tournament. The former England all-rounder ensured his team made it to the top-4. The Karachi Kings captain scored 329 runs besides taking 11 wickets and was duly awarded the Player of the tournament.

Bopara was at his very best in the recently concluded T20 Blast was instrumental in Essex winning the whole thing. The all-rounder scored 291 runs in 11 innings at an average of 48.50, finishing off a lot of games for his side with the bat and doing the same with the ball, claiming 12 wickets at 21.75.

He was one of the few English players who featured in the initial editions of the IPL. The all-rounder last played an IPL match in 2015 but considering his form off-late, it shouldn&#8217;t come as a surprise if he does makes his return.

Two-time World Twenty 20 winning captain; one of the fearsome hitters of a cricket ball; an inspiring leader; a handy bowler; a character. Darren Sammy has all the ingredients of being a genuine T20 Superstar. And, yet Sammy failed to find an IPL franchise for himself despite giving us so many moments to savor

Sammy last played for the Indian Premier League back 2015 when he turned out for the Royal Challengers Bangalore but has since been one of the stalwarts in the Pakistan Super League. The all-rounder was one of the few players to tour Pakistan to play the PSL final; one he went on to win with the Peshawar Zalmi.

Overall in 304 T20s, Sammy has accumulated 3832 runs at a strike-rate of 139.95 besides taking 158 wickets at 28.41, and even though it&#8217;s unlikely, those stats do warrant a potential comeback in IPL colors.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-111471" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Rilee-Rossouw.jpg" alt="Rilee Rossouw" width="600" height="477" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-111471" class="wp-caption-text">Rilee Rossouw.

He was tipped as the next big thing in South African cricket. He was one of the cornerstones of South Africa&#8217;s imperious World Cup campaign in 2015. But then, like with many other cricketers in South Africa, Kolpak happened.

The left-hander has played in T20 leagues all over the world barring the IPL and has established himself as one of the most sought after players in the world. Rossouw has been the cornerstone of Quetta Gladiators for the past few seasons. The former South African scored 255 runs at an average of 42.50 and a strike-rate of 123.18 and backed it up with another good performance last season (200 runs in 10 games).

A lot of IPL teams have grappled with the inconsistency of their middle-order, and Rossow, with an experience of 177 T20s and 4245 runs behind him, could be the answer to their problem.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-229050" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Luke-Ronchi.jpg" alt="Luke Ronchi" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-229050" class="wp-caption-text">Luke Ronchi received the player of the match award. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

One of those who goes bonkers from the very first ball. One of the few players who went on to play for two countries (Australia and New Zealand), Ronchi is one of the most destructive T20 batsman going around.

The former Kiwi wicketkeeper has been one of the stalwarts of the Pakistan Super League. In the 2018 season, the right-hander racked up 435 runs at an average of 43.50 and an eye-popping strike-rate of 182.00, emerging as the tournaments leading run-getter. In all, Ronchi is a veteran of 196 T20s in which he has accumulated 3951 runs at an average of 24.69 and a strike-rate of 153.31.

No one blazes away in the powerplay overs like Ronchi and adds his wicketkeeping skills, and a match-winning package emerges, something which the IPL team would be looking for in the upcoming auctions.

The dates for the 2020 edition of Indian Premier League auctions have been announced. In a stark contrast from the past, the BCCI has decided to stage the marquee event in Kolkata.&nbsp;So, with the dates having been announced, the talent Scouts of each of the eight franchises have gone overdrive in search of new talents who are performing in the leagues likes PSL, CPL, Big Bash, etc.

5 overseas PSL stars who should be given a chance in IPL 2020

The dates for the 2020 edition of IPL auctions have been announced. In a stark contrast from the past, the BCCI has decided to stage the marquee event in
