Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Nov 24 (Reporter) In a statement following the successful acquisition of English all-rounder Liam Livingstone in the auction, Andy Flower, the head coach, expressed immense satisfaction with the buy. Flower described Livingstone as a "very, very dangerous player" with "huge power" and lauded his versatility. "He's not just a big hitter; Livingstone's ability to bowl both legspin and offspin adds a valuable dimension to our bowling attack. Securing him early in the auction was a strategic move, and we're thrilled to have him on board," he said. Livingstone was secured by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for Rs 8.75 crore at the recent auction. After a slow start, the bidding heated up as teams like SRH and CSK entered the fray, but RCB ultimately clinched the deal. Drawing from his experience working with Livingstone at the England Cricket Academy, Flower highlighted the player's growth. "What I see in him is a maturing batsman who can now adapt his game as required. His recent international performances demonstrate his ability to not only accelerate when needed but also build innings and handle pressure effectively." Livingstone's recent performances, combined with his all-round abilities, make him a key asset for the team as they prepare for the upcoming season. "It's been great to witness his development, and we're genuinely excited about what he brings to the table," Flower added. The addition of Livingstone is expected to bolster the team's depth and offer crucial flexibility in key match situations...////...
