This English bowler has experience, which is why he can be a part of the playing eleven of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the absence of Pat Cummins.

2.Liam Livingston: If Sunrisers want a foreign all-rounder in their playing combination in place of Pat Cummins, then the best option for this would be 32-year-old Liam Livingstone.
