IPL 2026: 3 overseas players who earned first-ever contract
Let us take a look at three overseas players who earned first IPL contract.
Jack Edwards
Australian all-rounder Jack Edwards also earned his maiden IPL contract after being signed by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for INR 3 crore following a competitive bidding war with Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Edwards represents the Sydney Sixers in the BBL, where he has showcased his ability to contribute with both bat and ball. He has also gained exposure in Major League Cricket, playing for Washington Freedom.
At SRH, Edwards will have the opportunity to learn from fellow Australians Pat Cummins and Travis Head. Their presence, along with the franchise’s strong support system, could help Edwards develop further and establish himself as a valuable asset in the IPL over time.
