Tasmania head coach Jeff Vaughan told reporters in Hobart - He has spoken to his IPL team and he has no objection. We are happy to have an experienced player like him in our team. Wade scored 157 runs in 10 matches for the Titans in 2022, but last year he could not play a single match as Wriddhiman Saha was given preference.
Before this, Gujarat had already suffered some major setbacks. Hardik Pandya has left the franchise and has returned to his old team Mumbai Indians. At the same time, Mohammed Shami is out of the league due to injury. Recently, the team's new sensation Robin Minz was injured in a road accident. There is doubt over his playing also. Minj was bought by Gujarat in the auction for Rs 3.60 crore.
