South Africa pacer Lungi Ngidi, signed by Delhi Capitals, was ruled out of IPL 2024 due to injury on Friday. Capitals have brought in Australian all-rounder Jack Fraser-McGurk to replace Ngidi. McGurk, a 21-year-old opener and leg-spinner from Melbourne, made his debut against the West Indies in Sydney last month.

He joined DC for a base price of Rs 50 lakh.

Ngidi, who had been battling an ankle injury during India’s matches against South Africa from December 2023 to January 2024, has played 14 IPL matches and taken 25 wickets.
