NEW DELHI: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) head coach Justin Langer confirmed on Wednesday that England pacer David Willey will be unavailable for the initial matches of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
“Mark Wood pulling out of the tournament and also David Willey won’t be coming now either. That means we lack in the experience, but what I have seen in the last few days is that there is enormous talent,” said Langer in a virtual media interaction organised by the franchise.However, Langer didn’t specify the reason for Willey’s absence, but it is highly anticipated that the seamer has taken time off for family commitments after participating in back-to-back professional leagues – the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the ILT20 and the Multan Sultans in the PSL.
