Gurbas has been named in the Gujarat Titans squad to replace England’s Jason Roy with opener Rahman Rahman. According to CricketBus, the Titans have approached the BCCI for permission to replace the 20 – year – old.
The Afghan, who had a base price of Rs 50 lakh, was sold out in the IPL. Despite being auctioned twice, no franchise brought the player to the team. Meanwhile, Gujarat has auctioned off Jason Roy for a base price of Rs 2 crore.
