JUST IN: Sunrisers release Williamson, Pooran

The men in orange have let go of two national team captains. One of them was the franchise captain Kane Williamson and the other is Nicholas Pooran.
 
JUST IN - Mayank released, Shahrukh retained
It's over. Another IPL captain from 2022 has been released. Mayank Agarwal, over whom there was a big deliberation at Kings, has finally been let go. With Shikhar Dhawan named captain well before today's retention deadline, one could say this was expected. Jonny Bairstow has also been retained, expectedly. Shahrukh Khan, too, stays.

West Indies allrounder Odean Smith has been released. As have Prerak Mankad, Writtick Chatterjee and Ishan Porel. As reported earlier, few more released players are Vaibhav Arora,, Benny Howell and Sandeep Sharma.

Smith and Sandeep were the tricky calls, you'd have to think. Smith's potential of producing match-winning batting performances at the death and also bowling quick is undeniable, but he was expensive last season (11.86 per over). As for Sandeep, even though he was tidy with the new ball, he took only two wickets in five games last season, now getting overhauled at the new-ball spot by Arshdeep Singh. Remember, they have Kagiso Rabada too, and Liam Livingstone.

Smith and Agarwal gone means 18 crore more for their purse.
