Two Indian bowlers, Chetan Sakariya and Mukesh Choudhary are set to fly down to Australia to take part in this new venture. Cricket Australia recently put out a statement which read “Player and coaching exchanges between the MRF Pace Foundation and Cricket Australia have been in place for almost 20 years, with the two Indian players marking the resumption of the relationship that was paused due to COVID”. Cricket Australia also put out a tweet announcing the move for the two Indian bowlers. Chetan Sakariya will play for a club named Sunshine Coast, while Mukesh Choudhary will turn out for Wynnum-Manly.

Contrasting TATA IPL 2022 seasons for the two left arm seamers –

Sakariya was a huge sensation when he burst on to the 2021 IPL season with Rajasthjan Royals. He was let go by the RR unit and he was picked by Delhi Capitals, but had to warm the benches for most of the time. Sakariya was given his India debut during the tour of Sri Lanka. Choudhary made an instant impact for Chennai Super Kings with his ability to swing the ball. The 26 year old from Pune was an integral part of MSD and his CSK team after his ability to give the men in yellow early wickets.
