Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) preparations for IPL 2024 have encountered an early setback as all-rounder Tom Curran will not be participating in the upcoming IPL 2024. Tom Curran, a late addition to the RCB roster, sustained a knee injury during the Big Bash League (BBL), forcing him to withdraw from the competition. Let us take a look at some probable options for Tom Curran replacement in RCB for IPL 2024.
Probable players as Tom Curran’s replacement:
| Player | Role |
| Shamar Joseph | Bowler |
| Jason Holder | All-rounder |
| Keemo Paul | All-rounder |
| James Neesham | All-rounder |
Shamar Joseph
Shamar Joseph made his Test debut during the West Indies tour of Australia in 2024. He dismissed seven wickets during the test at Gabba to help his team win a thriller by eight runs. Shamar Joseph showed grit and determination against the mighty Aussies and he might be the ideal candidate to replace Tom Curran in RCB for IPL 2024.
Jason Holder
Jason Holder stands out as a prime candidate to fill Curran’s shoes this season, showcasing exceptional skills across all aspects of the game. The West Indian all-rounder carries substantial IPL experience, having played for esteemed franchises like Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Lucknow Super Giants.
Keemo Paul
RCB can consider Keemo Paul as a Tom Curran replacement in RCB for IPL 2024. With his dynamic skills as a fast-bowling all-rounder, Paul offers an alternative for RCB to bolster their lineup and make an impact in the upcoming season.
James Neesham
Known for his consistent T20 performances globally, Neesham has shone for various teams. Despite his regular presence in IPL franchises since his debut in 2014, featuring for Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals), he’s played only 14 games. Neesham can be an ideal candidate to replace Tom Curran in RCB.
