The Delhi Capitals (DC) have named Australian all-rounder Jake Fraser-McGurk as a replacement for the injured Lungisani Ngidi for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
Lungisani Ngidi Ruled Out Due to Injury
Ngidi, a South African fast bowler, has been a valuable asset for DC in previous seasons. With 25 wickets in his 14 IPL appearances, he brought experience and firepower to the bowling attack. Unfortunately, an injury will sideline him for the 2024 edition.
