SRH IPL Team 2026 Players List: Sunrisers Hyderabad full squad, retained and released players list

SRH Team 2026 Players List: Sunrisers Hyderabad acquired the services of hard-hitting England allrounder Liam Livingstone for Rs 13 crore. SRH reached the final in 2024, but the 2025 campaign has been a disappointment. They also purchased Jack Edwards for Rs 3 crore and Salil Arora for Rs 1.5 crore.

Coach Daniel Vettori was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo: “Wanted to keep nucleus together, happy with how players performed. Happy to go with enough of a purse to target players. Any time you have chance to add quality players who may have not fit elsewhere, hopefully we can identify them and add to our squad.”

As per their retentions their big-money South African asset in Heinrich Klaasen was retained despite the rumours of potential exit while the likes of Adam Zampa and Rahul Chahar were let go. The headline exit is of Indian pacer Mohammed Shami who was traded out to Lucknow Super Giants. With Shami already being traded to the Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 10 crore, SRH let go of some domestic talent like Abhinav Manohar, Rahul Chahar and Simarjeet Singh. They have managed to keep hold of their star assets like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Pat Cummins.
