The fourth edition of the Caribbean Premier League has come to a close after five weeks of breath-taking action. The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cpl-2018-final-trinbago-knight-riders-vs-guyana-amazon-warriors-statistical-highlights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Trinbago Knight Riders</strong></a> have defended their title this season to emerge as the third time champions. There were some amazing, nerve-wracking games that took the breathe away from the fans.

Just like any other T20 league, there were some new match-winners who have emerged out of this season. These players put up some great skill on display which mesmerised one and all. A few of them could also get handsome contracts in Indian Premier League 2019 season as well.

Here is the list of players who could bag an IPL contract:

1. Shimron Hetmyer | Guyana Amazon Warriors

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-275058" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Shimron-Hetmyer-1.jpg" alt="Shimron Hetmyer" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-275058" class="wp-caption-text">Shimron Hetmyer of Guyana Amazon Warriors.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/twitter-reactions-shane-rutherford-and-shimron-hetmyers-savage-knocks-take-the-warriors-to-second-place/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Shimron Hetmyer</strong></a> is possibly one of the best finds of the season. A naturally aggressive and destructive opener, Hetmyer got everyone watching him in awe right in the second game of the tournament. Batting at number three, the 21-year-old smashed 79 off 45 balls on a track that was tough to bat on and helped his team with its first game of the season.

Although he was slightly inconsistent, he is a bundle of immense talent. If groomed well, he could be the next big thing in Windies cricket and there won&#8217;t be a better platform than the IPL for this. He amassed 440 runs in 12 innings at an average of 40 and strike rate of 150. He also smashed a blistering ton in the season. Sides like the Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Delhi Daredevils would keep a close eye on him for the next season.

(Photo by Ashley Allen &#8211; CPL T20 via Getty Images)</figcaption>

Glenn Phillips was another consistent performer with the bat in CPL 2018. The South Africa-born New Zealand wicket-keeper batsman has played 8 T20Is. However, he hasn&#8217;t had a great time and his show in the CPL this year could find him a place back in the Kiwi XI. He has got some great shots in his book and can play both the aggressor and the anchor.

He was the second leading run scorer with 457 runs in 11 innings. His average of 42 combined with a strike rate of 147 is a deadly combination to have. With the World Cup 2019 fast-approaching, there could be a chance that Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes won&#8217;t feature in all the games in IPL 2019. Glenn Phillips could be a perfect backup option of Rajasthan Royals.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-280244" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Fawad-Ahmed.jpg" alt="Fawad Ahmed" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-280244" class="wp-caption-text">Fawad Ahmed. (Photo by Ashley Allen &#8211; CPL T20/Getty Images)</figcaption>

This crafty leg-spinner played a mighty important role in helping his side win the title. Born in Pakistan, Fawad represents the Aussie at the international level. He has also got a few games under his belt at the highest level. But, the 36-year-old hasn&#8217;t played an international game since 2013 and is currently busy playing various T20 leagues around the world. This is the second title win that Fawad has been a part of this year with the earlier one being the Global T20 Canada.

After finishing off on a high in the Canada league, he carried his great form into the CPL. He was the highest wicket-taker with 22 scalps in 13 innings. The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-royal-challengers-bangalore-franchise-make-crucial-changes-in-the-management/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Royal Challengers Bangalore</strong></a> will set their eyes firmly on this leggie, given their bowling attack is weak and has struggled in 2018.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-280887" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Oshane-Thomas.jpg" alt="Oshane Thomas" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-280887" class="wp-caption-text">Oshane Thomas. (Photo by Ashley Allen &#8211; CPL T20/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Oshane Thomas was a treat to watch this CPL. He generated some great pace and some mind-blowing deliveries. The late swing that he generated while clicking some top speed was a Windies&#8217; fan delight. At just 21 years of age, Thomas has shown some amazing maturity and is quite effective at the death as well.

He picked the highest number of wickets for a fast-bowler and the second highest overall. At an average of 18, Thomas picked 18 wickets in 10 innings. The Kolkata Knight Riders could be fancying having this talented fast-bowler in their side.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-279309" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Rovman-Powell.jpg" alt="Rovman Powell" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-279309" class="wp-caption-text">Rovman Powell. (Photo by Randy Brooks &#8211; CPL T20/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Rovman Powell has played some terrific innings this season. This 25-year-old right-handed plays some elegant strokes which are a treat to watch. Out of those batsmen who have played a minimum of 10 innings, Powell&#8217;s average is the highest. His big hitting abilities with some great consistency will be a boon for any team for which he plays. Although Powell was picked by KKR in 2017, he didn&#8217;t get a single game and was unsold in 2018. He is quite an unknown entity to the Indian audience at this point in time.

Powell ended the season with 329 runs in 10 innings at an average of 55. His strike rate, which is 162 at that average is quite staggering. The Mumbai Indians and the Sunrisers Hyderabad would be looking to draft this youngster into their squad since they lack enough firepower down the order.

CPL 2018: 5 new players who could be a part of the IPL

Here are five players from the 2018 edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) who could end up bagging a huge IPL deal next year.
