[ad_1] Fast bowler Junior Dala has replaced his injured South Africa team-mate Chris Morris at Delhi Daredevils for the rest of IPL 2018. Morris, who was the only overseas player to be retained by Daredevils, for INR 7.1 crore (USD 1 million approx.), has been sidelined with a back injury. Dala had set a base price of INR 20 lakh (USD 30,000 approx.) but found no takers in the auction in January. Daredevils have now bought him at that price, and this will be his first IPL stint. Dala made his T20I debut against India in February this year. He impressed with his unique action - he takes off on his right foot in his pre-delivery stride and lands on the right foot again - and skiddy pace. He was the joint-highest wicket-taker in the three-match T20I series at home against India, claiming seven wickets at an economy rate of 9.16. Dala adds depth to a pace attack that includes Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Dan Christian, Mohammed Shami, Harshal Patel, Sayan Ghosh and Liam Plunkett, who had r...

[ad_1] In the early weeks of the season, a number of England seam-bowling candidates with either international experience or the potential for a call-up by the new selection panel are already unavailable through injury. With input from Kevin Shine, the ECB's lead fast bowling coach, we look at those on the treatment table and when some might be back in contention. Toby Roland-Jones Out for the season due to a recurrence of the stress fracture diagnosed at the end of the 2017 domestic season. The ECB's view is that, in an ideal world, Roland-Jones might have spent the whole winter recovering and rehabilitating from the stress fracture. But, such was his desire to play a part in the Test team, he asked to play for the Lions and subsequently suffered more pain in his back after starting the season for Middlesex. Kevin Shine: "Listening to the player is of paramount importance and we were optimistic that [he] would recover in time." George Garton Garton impressed the Eng...

[ad_1] Sri Lanka have suffered a serious blow to their squad for the forthcoming series against West Indies, with opener Dimuth Karunaratne out of at least part of the tour with injury. An x-ray has confirmed the presence of a fracture in the index finger of Karunaratne's left hand, which will rule him out for at least a few weeks. If the fracture requires surgery - and a decision on that front will be made over the next 24 hours - he will almost certainly be out until July. The three Tests against West Indies are scheduled for June. "It's a clean crack in the finger, and for now I have been told that I will probably be out for the West Indies tour," Karunaratne told ESPNcricinfo. "But I have to see another surgeon before we know exactly what is happening." The injury had been sustained while Karunaratne was batting in the nets in the approach to Sri Lanka's Super Provincial one-day tournament, the first round of which began on Wednesday. The injury add...
