Delhi Capitals have signed Afghanistan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib as a replacement for Mitchell Marsh for the remainder of the Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Marsh has been ruled out of the tournament due to an injury.
After suffering a hamstring tear, Marsh returned to Australia on April 12 to start his recovery process. The 32-year-old all-rounder is likely to lead Australia in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. DC head coach Ricky Ponting already revealed that Marsh would be missing the remainder of the tournament.
Naib has represented Afghanistan in 82 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and 65 T20 Internationals (T20Is) so far. A right-handed batter and a medium pacer, this will be his first stint in the Tata IPL. Naib signs in for his reserve price of INR 50 lakhs.
