SRH Eyes Matt Henry as Potential Replacement for ShamiSaralnama

6 wins in IPL 2025 left Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in sixth place. Mohammed Shami's poor performance, with just 6 wickets in 9 matches, may lead to his release before IPL 2026 auction. SRH could target Matt Henry as a replacement. The New Zealand pacer has 39 wickets in 28 T20Is with an economy of 8.29. Henry played for Punjab Kings in 2017 and Lucknow Super Giants in 2024, featuring in 6 matches total. His experience and ability to bowl in powerplay and death overs make him a valuable option for SRH's bowling lineup. (Updated 18 Oct 2025, 18:45 IST; source: link)
