The Indian Premier League (IPL) will be expanding its base with the addition of two new teams, i.e., Ahmedabad and Lucknow, making it a 10-team affair. The eight existing franchises have announced their retentions and the two new teams now have the window to negotiate with the players and bring them on board before the mega auction.

They will be allowed to pick three players each from the draft, i.e., two Indians and one overseas. The variety of left-arm bowling is a luxury for any franchise to have. The left-arm bowlers provide a distinct perspective, making it tough for right-handed batters to read them and play accordingly.

Left-arm fast bowling is more devastating than right-arm fast bowling when the angle is combined with control and accuracy. All the franchises must be looking to keep a left-arm pacer in their ranks so as to provide variety in their bowling.

In the article, let&#8217;s look at five potential left-arm pacers who may attract decent bids at the IPL 2022 mega auction:

The fast bowling spearhead from <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/uncapped-all-rounder-fazle-mahmud-named-shakib-al-hasans-replacement-for-new-zealand-tests/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Zealand</a> will be one of the top picks for all the franchises ahead of the mega auction. Furthermore, if any franchise is able to bring him on board, the skills he has shown in all phases of the T20 format will be immensely beneficial to them. Boult had a solid career with the Mumbai Indians until being released prior to the big auctions.

The fulcrum of Mumbai Indians&#8217; bowling unit, along with Bumrah, was Boult. Over the course of two years, he took 38 wickets for the five-time IPL winning franchise. His contributions in the powerplay helped Mumbai smother the opponents, resulting in a title victory in 2020. His economy rate of 7.93 was also outstanding, demonstrating that he could bowl at any point of the game.

Boult offers left-arm fast bowling with good control and accuracy. Often regarded as a powerplay specialist, he becomes extremely lethal if there’s some swing on offer. In recent years, he has made significant progress as a death bowler.

He can execute Yorkers and slower ones with command, which will be extremely beneficial to any IPL franchise. He bowls at a blistering pace and has some quick bouncers in his arsenal, making him a popular choice among all the bowlers in the mega auction.

T. Natarajan&#8217;s rise in international cricket has served as an inspiration to all Indian cricket fans. The left-arm pacer from Tamil Nadu rose to prominence after playing for <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-list-of-players-released-by-sunrisers-hyderabad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sunrisers Hyderabad</a> in the IPL 2020, earning him international callups.  However, despite playing in all three forms, his career has been stalled due to a slew of ailments and setbacks.

Natarajan played for the Sunrisers in IPL 2020 and picked up 16 wickets from 16 matches at an impressive economy of 8.02. His ability to execute Yorkers at will impressed everyone. A spectacular moment of his career was when he dismissed AB de Villiers with a scorching Yorker and derailed RCB’s innings in the Eliminator.

He was unable to play in the first half of the IPL 2021 owing to injury. In the second half of the competition, he was infected with Covid-19, which caused him to miss all of the matches in the UAE. Natarajan&#8217;s ability to bowl in the death overs makes him a very valuable asset.

In the death, his perfect Yorkers and accurate slower ones are difficult to handle. All of the franchises in the next big auctions will be eyeing him as their premier death bowler.

The left handed all-rounder from <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/it-will-be-a-huge-concern-for-england-michael-hussey-on-ben-stokes-injury-and-lack-of-preparation-for-the-ashes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England</a> was the most valuable player for CSK in their most poor season of the championship. He exhibited his abilities with both the ball and the bat, and he proved to be a valuable addition to the Chennai franchise. Despite his inconsistent performances the following year, his multi-dimensional ability will keep all franchises interested to fetch him.

In IPL 2020, he took 13 wickets for CSK at an amazing economy rate of 8.19. He was also a capable batsman, saving CSK from several collapses. He scored 186 runs with an impressive strike rate of 131.17. However, he struggled in the 2021 season, leaking runs at a 9.93 economy rate.

Despite his dipping performance, he will be in the reckoning of many franchises. His natural angle helps him swing the ball away from right-handers and he doubles up as an able batsman lower down the order. He is impressive in the powerplay and is decent at the death. Though he is erratic, he has a potent Yorker and some deceptive slower ones which make him an excellent commodity.

The Bangladeshi left-arm bowler is no stranger to the IPL&#8217;s challenges. Despite the fact that he&#8217;s not at his lethal best, he is still a formidable opponent when the surface has some grip. In the absence of Jofra Archer, he enjoyed a successful tenure with the Rajasthan Royals as their primary death bowler.

Mustafizur Rahman had a strong showing in the IPL 2021, taking 14 wickets at an economy rate of 8.41. The batters found his cutters and slower ones difficult to read from the hand when he bowled in the death overs. His back-of-the-hand slower ones became incredibly tough to interpret until he got some help off the pitch.

He is the spearhead in Bangladesh’s limited overs bowling attack. With his variations, he will be effective where the grounds will be bigger and the pitches will be slow. His cutters and slower ones will be lethal in the death to outfox the batter. He will surely be on the radars of many franchises in the upcoming mega auction.

He is a tailor-made bowler for the shortest format in the game. In 13 T20Is, he has picked up 19 wickets at an outstanding average of 16.84. Given that he bowls at the death, his economy rate of 7.62 is also commendable.

McCoy, blessed with pace, control and one of the best slower balls in the business, has long been seen as one of the most exciting bowling prospects in the Caribbean. The 24-year old has raw energy and lots of ability in his bowling. 2021 has seen McCoy take four-wicket hauls in T20I matches against South Africa and Australia.

He impressed with his performances for St. Lucia Zouks in the CPL 2020. In the IPL mega auction, he will be one of the most interesting bowling prospects. Because of his performance at the death, he was named in the West Indies&#8217; ICC T20 World Cup team. It will be intriguing to see if he can spark the franchises&#8217; attention in the next auction.

McCoy, blessed with pace, control and one of the best slower balls in the business, has long been seen as one of the most exciting bowling prospects in the Caribbean. The 24-year old has raw energy and lots of ability in his bowling. 2021 has seen McCoy take four-wicket hauls in T20I matches against South Africa and Australia.
