It will be hard for him to get a consistent amount of games. He certainly will play about 3-4 games. The other international players in Pune Warriors are Michael Clarke, Callum Ferguson, Nathan McCullum, Angelo Matthews, Wayne Parnell, Jesse Ryder, Marlon Samuels, Graeme Smith and Steve Smith. From these crop of internatioal players the ones that would must likely be regular players are Graeme Smith, Marlon Samuels, Nathan McCullum/Angelo Matthews/Jesse Ryder.
The problem is that the top order lineup of Pune is already good. The top order for Pune would be Ganguly, Graeme Smith, Uthappa or maybe even Jesse Ryder and Michael Clarke (when he has finished the tour of West Indies). It wont be easy for Tamim to get a large amount of games in but i wish him all the best.
