2. Riley Meredith

Riley Meredith could be an ideal replacement for Lockie Ferguson. Meredith played for MI last season and showed decent ball-handling skills. Meredith has participated in 13 IPL games, taking 12 wickets. Riley Meredith’s speed can be useful for the team on the Edge Gardens surface.
