David Willey left the Indian Premier League 2024, and Lucknow Super Giants had to replace him with Matt Henry. Read out what happened and why it happened!
There are some changes in the squad lineup of the Lucknow Super Giants. LSG had to replace David Willey with Matt Henry. The concerned authorities had to change the lineup ahead of the match against Punjab Kings as David Willey left the league for personal reasons.
However, Henry lacks experience playing in the IPL, still, LSG has invested INR 1.25 crores in the New Zealand pacer. Having played only (2) matches for Punjab Kings in 2017, Henry is yet to showcase this mettle.
He might be inexperienced in the IPL but he surely understands the game when it comes to play for the country - New Zealand. Talking about the T20I matches, he has played a total (17) so far and clenched a total (20) wickets.
LSG has played only one match til the current state of the league and has lost it against RR. David Willey was not part of playing XIs.
LSG has gone winless this season, and Henry's joining may be a good move for all parties. The inclusion of a renowned international pacer could boost their bowling unit's performance. Lucknow began their season with a loss to Rajasthan Royals and will now face PBKS in their second match.
Let's see if Matt Henry would be a fruitful pick. Check out the real-time updates - LSG vs PBKS.
