Top CPL 2024 players Dwaine Pretorius, Waqar Salamkheil, and Johnson Charles who might shine in IPL 2025 auction.

Cricket fans, the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024 wrapped up with a bang, and we saw the St. Lucia Kings lift their maiden trophy after three near-misses. But as the CPL season ends, the buzz around IPL 2025 is already brewing! Indian Premier League franchises, many of whom own CPL teams, have their eyes on some standout players who could stir up a bidding war in the upcoming IPL mega auction.

Let’s talk about the three CPL players who might just steal the spotlight in IPL 2025:

1. Dwaine Pretorius

You’ve got to love this guy! Pretorius was a revelation for the Guyana Amazon Warriors in CPL 2024. The South African all-rounder snatched 16 wickets across 13 matches, boasting an economy rate of 8.26 and an average of 24.18. Not only is he lethal with the ball, but his ability to maintain control under pressure is what makes him an exciting prospect for IPL teams. Pretorius could be a great option for teams needing a dependable all-rounder.

2. Waqar Salamkheil

The Afghan sensation, Waqar Salamkheil, turned heads with his stellar performances for the Trinbago Knight Riders. This left-arm wrist-spinner took wickets when it mattered most and helped his team reach the playoffs. Salamkheil’s impressive record across global leagues proves he’s not just a flash in the pan. His ability to break partnerships with ease could make him one of the most sought-after spinners in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Watch out for him!

3. Johnson Charles

Let’s talk about runs, runs, and more runs! Johnson Charles was a run machine in CPL 2024, smashing 452 runs in 12 matches at a crazy strike rate of 153.22. With a solid average of 41.09, Charles was the third-highest run-getter in the tournament. Not only can he set the field ablaze with his powerful batting, but he also offers versatility as a wicketkeeper. IPL franchises looking for a hard-hitting top-order batter might find their answer in Charles.

Why IPL Franchises Are Watching

The connection between the CPL and IPL is growing stronger each season. Many CPL teams are owned by IPL franchises, meaning their scouts have a front-row seat to witness these rising stars in action. As the 2025 IPL auction looms, expect teams to keep these names high on their radar.

Can Dwaine Pretorius, Waqar Salamkheil, and Johnson Charles turn their CPL success into IPL stardom? Time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: the IPL 2025 mega auction is going to be intense!
