Heroes to watch in ICL

The Pakistani all-rounder needs no introduction.After having dished out some memorable performances on the internationalscenario, Razzaq stole the thunder from his fellow Pakistani players, who turnedout for the Lahore Badshahs, in the previous edition.Hisconsistent performance with both bat and ball earned him the Player of theTournament award. The big, burly South African is a mean customer on the field.Intimidation is his middle name as Kemp can really ruffle up a batsman. Kemp wasa major contributor in the Heroes campaign last time not only with the ball butalso with the bat. A clean striker of the ball, Kemp is a threat to any bowlingattack. Coach Rixon is sure that the South African has some more aces up hissleeve this time around. The temperamental Ambati Rayudu is a player one couldgo any distance to watch. The exceptionally talented right-handed batsman hasall the strokes in the book and more importantly has the ability to shatter theconfidence of any bowler. On his day, he makes batting look so very easy. It isalways poetry in action when the willow thumps the cherry to all parts of theground. Rayudu, who loves to trade his wares on the big stage, played a majorrole in the Heroes victory last time around and is eager to get going again.The wicket-keeper batsman carved a niche for himself since hemade his debut for Hyderabad in first class cricket. But after a frustratingwait, he switched allegiance to the ICL and earned a name for himself in thelast tournament. A middle order bat, Khaleel shot into prominence when coachRixon asked him to open the innings in the later part of the tournament. He camegood and in the process proved that he was made for bigger things in life.
