IPL 2024: Lucknow Super Giants Announce Replacement For David Willey
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) made a major change in their squad ahead of LSG vs PBKS IPL 2024 match on Saturday (March 30).
New Zealand's Matt Henry has been included in Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) squad, replacing pace all-rounder David Willey of England.
Just days before the start of IPL 2024, David Willey pulled out of the T20 tournament due to personal reasons.
New Zealand pacer Matt Henry has been included in LSG squad for his base price of Rs 1.25 crore.
Matt Henry has participated in 25 Tests, 82 ODIs and 17 T20 International matches for New Zealand. Before this, he has been a part of Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings in IPL.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are yet to win in IPL 2024 this season and Henry's arrival could be the right move for KL Rahul-led side.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) started their IPL campaign with a loss against Rajasthan Royals. Today, LSG will square off against PBKS in their second fixture.
Willey is the second English cricketer to leave Lucknow in IPL 2024, with Mark Wood also opting to quit.
