In a statement on Tuesday, the BCCI said pacer Prasidh Krishna has been ruled out of the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League.
The statement read, “The fast bowler underwent surgery on February 23rd, 2024, on his left proximal quadriceps tendon. He is currently being monitored by the BCCI Medical Team and will resume rehab at the National Cricket Academy soon. He will not be able to take part in the upcoming TATA IPL 2024.”
Prasidh had also missed the entire IPL 2023 season due to injury after being an integral part of the Rajasthan Royals’ run to the final in 2022, picking 19 wickets in 17 matches. Royals had replaced Prasidh with the vastly experienced Sandeep Sharma in IPL 2023.
The lanky pacer was bought by the Royals for a whopping Rs. 10 crore at the IPL 2022 auction and was retained by the franchise for the next edition.
Prasidh was last played in early January for Karnataka against Gujarat in the Ranji Trophy and was injured during the first innings after picking two for 62 in 14.5 overs.
