New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson is set to replace Nathan Coulter-Nile in RCB’s squad for the upcoming 11th season of IPL.
The IPL Technical Committee, in a press release, has approved a replacement for Nathan Coulter-Nile in the Royal Challengers Bangalore squad because Coulter-Nile has been ruled out owing to an injury.
As per the Player Regulations, the Royal Challengers Bangalore is allowed to select a replacement from the Registered and Available Player Pool (RAPP).
The Royal Challengers Bangalore has picked former Mumbai Indias’ star Corey Anderson for his base price of INR 2 Cr, the release further stated.
Here is what RCB head-coach Daniel Vettori said:
“Nathan Coulter-Nile is still recovering from a sustained injury and has been prescribed ample rest. He is a player of tremendous talent and owing to his treatment however, he won’t be able to play during IPL season 11. His absence will be felt greatly both in the team and on ground. Team RCB wishes Nathan a heartfelt speedy recovery and an early come back.
Replacing him in the squad is the explosive Kiwi all-rounder Corey Anderson. Corey plays a bold game and has incredible potential. We all welcome him to the RCB squad!”
