The Delhi Capitals have Australian player Jake Fraser-Mcgurk on board for the upcoming IPL season as a replacement for Lungi Ngidi. Lungi Ngidi has been ruled out of IPL due to injury.
Lungi Ngidi has played 14 matches in his IPL career so far and has picked up 25 wickets. On the other hand, Jake Fraser-McGurk has been signed by the Delhi Capitals for the upcoming IPL season at a base price of Rs 50 lakh.

Apart from Lungi Ngidi, Delhi capitals are also set to miss the services of Harry Brook in this year’s IPL. Harry Brook has withdrawn his name from this year’s IPL due to his grandmother’s death.
Jake Fraser-Mcgurk has been backed by Ricky Ponting after his stealer performance in this year’s BBL. Ponting further praised Jake Fraser-Mcgurk, saying that the Australian reminded him of young David Warner, who is also part of the same setup.
