The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/category/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Indian Premier League (IPL)</strong></a> is a goldmine of prospects if you&#8217;re a newbie who wants the world to sit up and take notice of you. Every year, new talented players are spotted in the tournament and given an international platform to perform to the best of their ability for two months straight. However, not all the cricketers participating in the cricketing gala are able to fulfil their dream of taking the field.

On several occasions, players have remained benched for an entire season without a single game coming their way. More often than not, it&#8217;s because that particular franchise had already found the winning combination and wasn&#8217;t keen on tinkering with it. Let&#8217;s take a look at the 3 overseas players who failed to get a single game in IPL 2018.

29-year-old Cameron Delport must be woeful on not having been able to play for his national side, South Africa even once up till now. However, the all-rounder has played in several highly rated T20 leagues, including the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), the Big Bash League (BBL) and the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). In the 139 T20s that he&#8217;s played, Delport has amassed 3224 runs along with 48 scalps.

When he was drafted in by the <strong>Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)</strong> in the IPL 2018 auctions at his base price of INR 30 lakhs, Delport must have been extremely hopeful of making his debut into the foray of the exciting tournament in 2018. But it was not to be. The Protean didn&#8217;t get a single game out of the 16 matches that KKR played this season and will have to wait another year to make his IPL debut.

New Zealand pacer, Adam Milne must&#8217;ve gone through a roller-coaster ride of emotions throughout the course of the IPL 2018. To begin with, he went unsold in the auctions this year as no franchise seemed interested to pay his base price of INR 75 lakhs after his lacklustre performance for the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/category/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/rcb-royal-challengers-bangalore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)</strong></a> back in 2017.

However, he seemed to get a lucky break when he was called upon by the Mumbai Indians (MI) to replace the injured Pat Cummins in the side. Unfortunately for Milne, MI chose to bench him for the entire length of his association. On his part, Milne has been impressive for his national side as compared to his miserable outings for RCB in 2017. In the 19 T20Is that he&#8217;s played, the lanky speedster has 21 wickets to his name.

Primarily a left-arm pacer who can hit those big shots down the order, Ben Dwarshuis had a dream debut IPL auction in 2018 when he ignited a bidding war between the <strong>Kings XI Punjab (KXIP)</strong> and the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and was eventually claimed by the former franchise for a price of INR 1.4 crores as compared to his base price of INR 20 lakhs.

However, Dwarshuis had to face disappointment come the actual proceedings of the tournament as he had to sit in the dugout for the entire run of the 2018 edition of the IPL. The 23-year-old has emerged as a promising talent in the Big Bash League, where he&#8217;s been a part of the Sydney Thunders since 2014 and was the second highest wicket-taker for the side in BBL 06 with 13 wickets in 10 games.
