The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has granted clearance for Rishabh Pant to resume wicketkeeping duties for the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. However, fast bowlers Mohammed Shami and Prasidh Krishna will not participate in the tournament due to their respective injuries.
Rishabh Pant, who has been cleared by the BCCI’s fitness and medical teams, is set to play a crucial role for the Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season. On the other hand, Mohammed Shami and Prasidh Krishna have been ruled out due to fitness concerns. Prasidh Krishna, who underwent surgery on his left proximal quadriceps tendon, will begin his recovery at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. Meanwhile, the BCCI is monitoring Shami’s progress after his recent heel surgery, with no specific return date announced.
The absence of Shami and Prasidh Krishna will be a setback for their respective teams, and cricket fans will keenly await updates on other players’ fitness, including KL Rahul, who has been nursing a quadricep tendon injury since January.
