RCB’s Will Jacks ruled out of IPL 2023 due to injury

On March 31, the 16th season of the incredible Indian Premier League will start. Nevertheless, even before the big event started, a number of top athletes, like Jasprit Bumrah and Shreyas Iyer, were forced to withdraw from the competition owing to injuries. A new name has been added to the injury list, and this time Royal Challengers Bengaluru is expected to suffer as a top all-rounder is expected to miss game time.

Will Jacks, an all-rounder for England, is expected to miss the entire IPL 2023 season due to injuries, according to sources. Will Jacks, who RCB purchased for Rs 3.2 crore at the auction in December, would have been the ideal cover for Glen Maxwell’s explosive nature. In the second One-Day International against Bangladesh in Mirpur, Will Jacks hurt himself while fielding. The muscular damage, which was initially thought to be of low severity, was later shown by scans to be rather critical.

The article also states that RCB is in negotiations with New Zealand all-rounder Michael Bracewell to be brought in as a replacement for the IPL 2023 season now that Jacks is out of the picture. Bracewell has never before played in the IPL. At the auction, when his starting bid was Rs 1 crore, he wasn’t purchased.

Reece Topley, who was also selected by RCB in the 2023 IPL auction, is dealing with a niggle after sitting out the whole team’s tour of Bangladesh. The team may exhale with relief, though, since he is expected to be healthy before the start of the 2023 season. On April 2, RCB will face the Mumbai Indians in their opening match of the 2023 IPL at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

 Losing Jacks is unquestionably a setback for RCB, who will now need to reevaluate their approach to the competition. The club has constantly been one of the most well-known and prosperous in the IPL, although they haven’t won the championship yet. Although losing Jacks could put them at a disadvantage, they will still be expecting to compete at the highest level because a successor is already in the works.

The IPL is a fiercely competitive competition that draws some of the top athletes in the world. Teams are usually concerned about injuries, so RCB will have to put in a lot of effort to create a balanced roster that can handle the demands of the competition. They will be hoping that Bracewell would step up and assist the squad in achieving their objectives.
