Lucknow Super Giants have been handed a major blow ahead of their debut campaign, with their INR 7.50 crore signing Mark Wood ruled out of the IPL 2022 season due to an elbow injury. Although the franchise has overseas pacers like Jason Holder and Dushmantha Chameera in squad, the franchise will be quite keen to get another fast-bowler on board as replacement for Wood, as soon as possible.
According to reports, there are 3 pacers who are linked to the franchise and one of them could potentially join LSG in coming days. Here is the list of those players:
1. Sheldon Cottrell
The pacer from West Indies has played under KL Rahul for Punjab Kings and had a few impressive performances. Unfortunately, the Rahul Tewatia onslaught completely derailed his campaign and Sheldon Cottrell will be keen to get another opportunity to prove his mettle in IPL. He will also add variety to the pace attack of LSG, with his left-arm bowling.
