NEW DELHI: Injured duo of Ishant Sharma and David Warner will be absent from the Delhi Capitals' lineup when they face Mumbai Indians in an Indian Premier League match on Saturday.
DC's Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly confirmed the development in a statement on Friday.
Both players had missed DC's previous game against Gujarat Titans. While Warner had picked up a thumb injury against Lucknow Super Giants earlier this month, Ishant has been facing issues with his back.
"Both David Warner and Ishant Sharma are injured and are unavailable for tomorrow's game," Ganguly said.
Warner had suffered an injury in his left thumb on April 12. The X-ray report had come back all clear but there was a lot of swelling around the knuckle area on the left hand. The southpaw subsequently made a comeback in the loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad last week.
However, it seems the Australian hasn't fully recovered as he missed DC's last game against the Gujarat Titans on Wednesday
Ishant, on the other hand, last played for DC on April 17 against the Titans.
