And they could comfortably use him in the deaths only due to impact player option. Plus a mature mentor in the form of a captain helped. The team protected him like the youngest kid of a family.In SL, he won’t have support from the batters and we cannot afford to have a bowler exclusively for death overs. And cannot expect much guidance from amateur captaincy surrounded by a bunch of team members whose priority is playing to save their asses than aiming for victory…not to mention the possibility of interfering politics. Not the greatest environment for improvement of a young talent.And he still has to work on his technique, control and strategy. It’s not like he’s a perfect natural talent.</blockquote>
