Pakistan vs New Zealand: Why Azam Khan Is Essential For Pak's T20 World Cup Squad?
Bengaluru, August 26: Ahead of the second phase of IPL 2021, Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders announced new player signings as some of their original members in the squad will miss the UAE-leg of the tournament.
Punjab Kings have picked England leg-spinner Adil Rashid to replace Australia pacer Jhye Richardson. This is Rashid's first IPL stint. Meanwhile, the Knight Riders signed New Zealand pacer Tim Southee as a replacement for Aussie pacer Pat Cummins.

In other signings, Royal Challengers Bangalore have brought in Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga as replacement for Australia's Adam Zampa.
In the recent three-match T20I series against India in Sri Lanka, leg-spinner Hasaranga bagged a total of 7 wickets, including a 4-wicket haul in the final T20I. There was a news that the Sri Lanka Cricket delaying the issue of NOC to their players to play in the IPL 2021 but that seemed to have sorted out.
Other replacements for RCB are Lankan pacer Dushmantha Chameera for Daniel Sams, left-arm quick George Garton for Kane Richardson and Tim David for New Zealand's Finn Allen.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals have brought in New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman Glenn Phillips as a replacement for England's Jofra Archer. Phillips has so far played 25 T20Is and has 506 runs against his name.
He has scored a hundred and 2 half centuries and has a strike-rate of 149.70. South Africa's Tabraiz Shamsi will replace Andrew Tye in the Rajasthan Royals squad.
