According to the report, the injury suffered by Will Jacks on the tour of Bangladesh has proved to be serious. Due to this, he had to withdraw his name from IPL. Jacks was included in the team by RCB as a cover for Glenn Maxwell. He suffered a muscle injury while fielding in the second ODI against Bangladesh. He has been forced to pull out of the IPL after undergoing scans and consultation with a specialist earlier this week.
IPL will start on 31 March, but many players have come under the grip of injuries. Due to this, some franchisees have got a big blow. It will be interesting to see how RCB will perform in the upcoming season of the IPL.
