yes but u can only 4 overseas and balance is important so udana n morris can be pref , considering they also have sundar as off spinner

Steyn, Saini and  Umesh Yadav are enough pace bowling options already.

umesh leaks and isnt a death bowler

A big reason for picking morris n udana was death bowling 

Also teams hardly play 2 offies unless the opp is filled with lefties 

 

These 3 wud be rotated acc to conditions or u might even see 2 of them playing

The point you made regarding eco rate of Yadav being high is fine. However, I think Steyn  is most economical of them all. So i doubt Steyn would be dropped. Do you feel they will drop Steyn ?

yes 

As i said u can only play 4 overseas so i wont be surprised if they pref moeen ali or udana for chennai or delhi surafces .

They invested so much kane which means they are looking at him for a role

 

The good thing about this RCB squad is that they have given themselves a lot of option

If they are dropping the most economical bowler then expect RCB to chase  big totals in many innings. They will never learn.

Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan has opened up on how he spotted the talent in Sunrisers Hyderabad's new signing Abdul Samad during his early days. Pathan mentioned that Samad's big-hitting abilities caught his eye and so, he picked him to play for Jammu and Kashmir in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2018-19.

The background

Samad became only the fourth player from his state to earn a contract in the Indian Premier League. The wrist-spinning all-rounder joined Parvez Rasool, Manzoor Dar and Rasikh Salam in the elite club of Jammu and Kashmir cricketers to become a part of the cash-rich league.

The heart of the matter

Talking to TOI on Monday (30th December), Irfan Pathan revealed he first saw Samad at the Science College Ground in Jammu. Pathan said:

 

"What caught my eye was his ability to bat on the up and also along the ground on a dry surface, where senior batsmen were struggling. The ball was keeping low, but here I saw a rookie batting without any trouble. I immediately checked his scores in the junior circuit. I was very impressed. I wanted to test him in the shorter format of game. So, during Syed Mushtaq Ali 2018-19 season, he debuted against Nagaland and smacked an unbeaten 76 of 51 balls, helping us win the match comfortably."

He further spoke about the talent possessed by the youngster and continued:

 

"There is no doubt he is a work in progress but a couple of things make him an exciting prospect. First, he can bat anywhere and can hit sixes at will. He is a good wrist spinner too. He has got a sharp googly and bowls very accurately for a part-timer."

 

 

@express bowling @Mosher- any info on this kid Abdul Samad ?

If AB had agreed to keep, that would have solved half our problems a while back.
