Kolkata Knight Riders have released the former Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi and Sri Lankan all-rounder Chamika Karunaratne ahead of IPL 2023 mini-auction.

The two-time champions acquired the services of Mohammad Nabi for INR 1 crore while Chamika Karunaratne cost them INR 50 Lakh in the mega-auction.

Earlier, KKR made a successful all-cash trade with the defending champions Gujarat Titans as they brought back the Kiwi pacer Lockie Ferguson and Afghanistan wicket-keeper batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz.

Delhi Capitals also traded Shardul Thakur worth INR 10.75 Crore to Kolkata Knight Riders for Aman Khan worth INR 20 Lakhs in an all-cash deal.

By releasing Chamika Karunaratne and Mohammad Nabi, Kolkata Knight Riders will free up their purse by 1.5 Crore.

Earlier, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) asked all franchises to submit the list of their retained and released players by November 15.

It's sad news. But we think it must be a good chance to get from Chamika karunarathna for next teams.

When he came on the international scene he was my favorite SL crickter; not any more. However, he had not delivered anything noteworthy or memorable on the international stage. I am also forced to ponder in the first place how he managed to get into the team and secondly how remained there, except for his despicable onfield send-off of batsman. As a cricketer his skills lack international standards. No wonder KKR released him. He would be lucky if someone else picks him.

Sri Lankan public in general being interested in details like a player being put out by an IPL team shows again the lack of focus of public, and lack of civil leaders to improve the country. Government/SLC is giving the opium of the cricket in full dose while the country deteriorates, the the public caught in the romance of cricket matters. There's one of our cricketer in Australia in trouble, and support for him is worth 1000 times than wasting about IPL movements.
