Andrew Tye IPL record: List of IPL teams Andrew Tye has played for before joining LSG for IPL 2022

Andrew Tye IPL record: The Australian fast bowler will return to the Indian Premier League after missing the last season.

Australia fast bowler Andrew Tye has replaced injured England fast bowler Mark Wood at Lucknow Super Giants for the upcoming 15th season of the Indian Premier League.

In what would’ve been Wood’s second IPL season, it will now be Tye’s fifth in the biggest T20 tournament across the world. While Lucknow had bought Wood for INR 7.5 crore during the mega auction held in Bengaluru last month, Tye has been included for his base price of INR 1 crore.

Tye, 35, will join Super Giants post finishing as the third-highest wicket-taker in Big Bash League 2021-22 on the back of picking 25 wickets in 16 matches at an average of 16.96, an economy rate of 8.07 and a strike rate of 12.6.

The development means that Zimbabwe fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani will join the franchise as a net bowler for IPL 2022. Muzarabani’s departure to India had been perceived as him being Wood’s replacement by the Indian media.
