IPL 2023: RCB’s Will Jacks ruled out due to injury | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Will Jacks suffered a muscle injury while fielding during England‘s second ODI against Bangladesh in Mirpur earlier this month and now has been ruled out of the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The 24-year-old Jacks was bought for Rs 3.2 crores by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the IPL auction in December last.
“..after scans earlier this week and consultation with a specialist, he has been forced to pull out of the IPL,” a report in ESPNcricinfo said.

RCB is currently in discussions with Michael Bracewell of New Zealand as Jacks’ potential replacement, the report said.
Jacks made his England debuts in all three formats this year, winning his T20I and Test caps in Pakistan before playing his first ODI in Bangladesh.

The injury may affect his chances of earning selection in England’s ODI squad for the World Cup later this year.
Bracewell didn’t find any takers in the IPL auction after entering with a base price of Rs 1 crore. He has never played in the IPL.
RCB will open their IPL campaign with a clash against Mumbai Indians on April 2.
