After two previous versions -  IPL 2021 Deadwood and IPL 2022 Deadwood , the latest version is back.

From the 2022 version the likes of Karn Sharma, Sheldon Jackson, Robin Uthappa, Karun Nair, Shreyas Gopal, Nadeem, Aaron and Gurkreet Mann have been discarded permanently.

LSG:
K Gowtham, Amit Mishra, Manan Vohra

MI:
Piyush Chawla

Here is a list of players who are not good enough  ( in my personal opinion) and can be a member of deadwoods in coming years.

Tushar Deshpande
Shivam Dubey
Khaleel Ahmed
Nagarkoti
Murugun Ashwin

Navdeep Saini
Boobie ( I dare say)

Khaleel consistently picks wickets for SRH,not a deadwood

 

Naharkoti gets meagre opportunity,is much better than what he's perceived

Others,i agree

Never impressed with Khaleel apart from his initial burst in Indian colors. Seems a mental midget.

 

Nagarkoti - its been 4 IPL season and 4 Domestic season but he seems to be forever injured and didn't impress anybody in IPL.

Yes and hence not in deadwood yet.

 

But we have seen him in T20I and know very well he is one trick leg side hack and a slow trundler. Very low ceiling even in IPL.

Khaleel isn't a deadwood as his stats suggest and Nagarkoti doesn't get ample opportunities to be termed deadwood

That doesn't really mean he wasn't a dead wood, many would argue had Kuldeep played we'd have won the match pretty comfortably!

Khaleel has ditched the red ball cricket altogether and played just 3 T20 matches for Rajasthan this season.

 

Don't know how he can survive IPL without playing any cricket for the whole year.

 

If he don't get any games for DC, he will be deadwood in no time.

Deadwood as per his IPL  performance but doesn't qualify as one yet,if he doesn't performs he will certainly be

Dubey is a big disappointment , had high hopes for him.

He was a deadwood but tuned it around last two season. What I like about him that he doesn't shy away from doing hard toils in Ranji when he could have easily ditched long format and become a T20 Freeloader.

T20 is his kryptonite. Biggest deadwood in IPL.
