NEW DELHI: England and Royal Challengers Bangalore pacer Reece Topley, who dislocated his shoulder while fielding in the IPL match against Mumbai Indians, has been ruled out of the remainder of the season.
Topley injured his right shoulder in RCB's season opener in Bengaluru.
The lanky pacer is the fourth RCB player to be out with injury this season after Will Jacks, Rajat Patidar and Josh Hazelwood (will miss first half).
"Topley has been ruled out of the IPL and has flown back home. His replacement will be named soon," RCB head coach Sanjay Bangar said on air during the game against Kolkata Knight Riders.
He also informed that star spinner Wanindu Hasaranga is expected to join the squad on April 10 and Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood, who could not play the Test series in India due to injury, on April 14.
