Birmingham Phoenix finished second on the points table in the recent Hundred 2024. However, the team was not able to reach the finals. For Daniel Vettori, though, it was the second successive season this year. At SRH, where he would further want to do well, he can take some players from the Phoenix squad. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of 2 top Birmingham Phoenix performers in the Hundred 2024 whom Vettori could sign for SRH.
1) Adam Milne
SRH already has Pat Cummins as the overseas lead pace option. He is also the captain of the side. However, it is not sure if SRH will retain the Aussie for a heavy price. Pat’s bowling form in T20s is a concern and his availability will always be an issue.
Adam Milne has injury issues but if he is available, he offers great value to the side. He has multiple variations to trouble the batters. Plus he is experienced and has also been doing well in different tournaments in the recent times. Therefore, he can be a good signing for the franchise.
2) Ben Duckett
Ben Duckett is one of the top Birmingham Phoenix performers in the Hundred 2024 whom Vettori could sign for SRH. The 29-year-old cricket was one of the highest run-getters in the tournament. Not only did he score a lot of runs but he also made them at a top strike rate. Considering he is a left-hander and can also be a handy wicket-keeper, he would surely command attention at the auctions.
SRH might release Aiden Markram. If they are looking for a player who could fit their current philosophy, Ben would be the ideal signing. While he can be the backup for the overseas batters, if possible, he can also be a choice to be a part of the XI from the first game itself.
