“Looking for bits and pieces players,” as Ponting places it, will quickly be a factor of the previous in IPL.
“Actually, it almost negates the role of allrounders in the game now as you don’t need to pick allrounders. Name a batting or bowling-heavy team and just take one out and bring another one in. Unless they are absolutely world class and they are picked as a batter or bowler not as a bits and pieces guy, I don’t think you will see many teams actually use the guy that bats at No. 7 and bowls an over or two anymore,” Ponting stated.
