Veteran leg-spinner Pravin Tambe went unsold in the 2018 and 2019 IPL auctions as Sunrisers Hyderabad decided to release him. Pravin Tambe went on to ply his trade in the T10 league in the UAE in 2018, taking eight wickets in four games, including a fifer while featuring for the Sindhis.

While Kolkata Knight Riders secured Tambe’s services ahead of the 2020 IPL season, the BCCI disqualified him.

Currently, the 48-year old plays for Trinbago Knight Riders in the Caribbean Premier League, becoming the oldest and the first Indian player in CPL.
