Jimmy Neesham and Chris Lynn ruled out of Pepsi IPL 2015
Neesham, who was bought at this year's auction, and Chris Lynn, retained from last year, have both been ruled out based on the injury reports received from their respective boards.
IPL regulations permit replacement if a player is unavailable for the entire season. KKR have opted to replace the injured players with the experienced duo of Azhar Mahmood, former Pakistan Test Cricketer who is currently based in England playing for Surrey and Johan Botha, former SA Captain and currently playing for Adelaide Strikers at the Big Bash.
Pepsi IPL is happy to welcome these experienced campaigners as KKR take on MI in their opening encounter of Pepsi IPL on 8th Apr, 2015, said Anurag Thakur, Hon. Secretary, BCCI.
