It has also been told in the IPL release that Delhi Capitals has included Jake Fraser-McGurk in their team in place of Lungi Ngidi. Jack McGurk is an Australian all-rounder and has played two ODI matches for his country. Delhi has included him in its team with a reserve price of Rs 50 lakh.
Like South Africa’s Lungi Ngidi, England’s Harry Brook will also not be seen in IPL 2024. Harry Brook has decided not to play in IPL 2024 due to the death of his grandmother. The only thing of relief for Delhi is that its regular captain Rishabh Pant has returned to the team. Rishabh Pant could not play in IPL 2023 due to injury.
