15 November 2018 was the last day to release and trade the players ahead of the 12th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Hence, all the eight franchises put out the list of the players they have retained and released. There were quite a few big names on the list of released players. Their failure in IPL 2018 or current form persuaded the franchise owners to part ways with them for the upcoming season.

Some of these names include the Australian limited-overs skipper Aaron Finch, Yuvraj Singh, Mustafizur Rahman and others. The franchises who couldn’t acquire these cricketers earlier will be hoping to pick them in the auction which will be held in December this year. However, if a hypothetical situation is taken into consideration, these released players can form a strong XI all by themselves and give some tough competition to some of the best teams.

Here is the best XI of the released players

Aaron Finch is an extremely hard hitter of the cricket ball. He can tear apart the opposition and has the ability to shift gears within no time. He was picked by the Kings XI Punjab for the 2018 season and they had high expectations on him. However, he failed terribly in the subcontinent conditions and only managed to score 134 runs in 10 games at an average of 17.

He was tried at various positions in the batting order but left his team deserted. Hence, the 31-year-old was put back into the auction pool. Finch has got the game for T20 cricket and KXIP shouldn’t have experimented much with him in the batting order. Considering his recent form and hitting abilities, Finch will open the innings in the released XI.
