Jofra Archer failed to recover from his elbow operation and was ruled out as well. Andrew Tye flew back home due to the covid scare. Liam Livingstone went back to his home due to the bio-bubble fatigue.
Now Rajasthan Royals have announced replacement for Livingstone. They have signed South African pacer Gerald Coetzee as his replacement for the remainder of the season.Coetzee has been part of eight T20 matches so far and has nine wickets under his belt. He has scalped wickets at an average of 23.33 and has also represented his nation in two U-19 World Cups.
