LSG signs Will ORourke as replacement for Mayank Yadav after he is injured

Fast bowler Mayank Yadav, popularly known as Express, has been ruled out of the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season due to a back injury. The franchise gave this information on Thursday, May 15.

Lucknow Super Giants have replaced Mayank with New Zealand fast bowler William O'Rourke in the squad for the remainder of the league stage and potentially the playoffs. Mayank Yadav played just two matches for Lucknow after being out of the team for a long time due to injury. This is a big setback for the 22-year-old fast bowler who could not handle his body after a brilliant performance in IPL 2024.
