New Delhi: South African pacer Lungi Ngidi, who was signed by the Delhi Capitals, was Friday ruled out of the IPL 2024 due to an injury.
The Capitals have roped in Australian all-rounder Jake Fraser-McGurk in place of Ngidi.
McGurk, a 21-year-old hard-hitting opener and leg-spinner from Melbourne, made his ODI debut against the West Indies at Sydney last month.
He has joined DC for his reserve price of Rs 50 lakh.
Ngidi, who has been battling an ankle niggle from India’s tour to South Africa in December, 2023-January, 2024, has played 14 IPL matches and has taken 25 wickets.
