1. Saqib Mahmood

2. David Wiese

David Wiese is someone who could be a great replacement for Nathan Coulter-Nile for Rajasthan. He has been showing his all-rounder potential for Rajasthan for a few years now in the Pakistan Super League. Wiese can add depth to the bowling unit and is also a handy option with the bat as well. Not a lot of people would argue that Wiese could be a fine replacement for Nathan Coulter-Nile.

3. Hayden Kerr

Australian fast bowling all-rounder, Hayden Kerr is currently a net bowler for Lucknow. He is an uncapped fast bowler who is yet to make his debut for Australia. So far, he has played 22 T20 matches, picking 25 wickets at an average of 15.8. The good thing is that the Australian cricketer is already inside the bio-bubble and he can be straightaway included in Rajasthan's squad.
