2. Benny Howell
Benny Howell is a giant of a player in the T20 circuit and has displayed his all-round prowess in T20 competitions around the world. In 178 matches in the shortest format, he has taken 183 wickets and accumulated 2341 runs at a strike rate of 131.81.
Punjab signed the T20 specialist at this year's IPL Auction to add depth to the squad and it was a golden opportunity for Howell to show his skills in the most lucrative T20 tournament. However, the France-born could not get a single game in the entire season.
PBKS entrusted Odean Smith to fill the all-rounder void at the lower-middle order and then moved to Rishi Dhawan for that role. Given Howell was not given a chance even when Punjab were trying different combinations, it gives a clear indication that they do not see him in their plans going ahead. Thus, Punjab could trade the veteran all-rounder and free up an overseas slot.
