Maphaka, the highest-wicket-taker in ICC U19 WC 2024 with 21 scalps in six matches, made two appearances for Mumbai Indians (MI) last year and conceded 89 runs, taking just a wicket. Also, he has played three T20Is for Proteas, taking a wicket.
Indian veteran stars failed to find themselves a franchise while some stars found reprieve after being re-introduced into the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction on Monday.
During the auction, Bethell attracted a bid from SRH and Punjab Kings (PBKS) before RCB jumped in and got his services. The young all-rounder has played 7 T20Is for England, scoring 173 runs with two fifties at a strike rate of 167.96.
