NEW DELHI, Apr 20: Struggling Lucknow Super Giants are set to receive a significant mid-season boost with swashbuckling Australia batter Josh Inglis likely to join the squad ahead of their IPL clash against Mumbai Indians on May 4.
The 31-year-old had decided to skip the first half of the season due to his wedding. Having tied the knot on April 18, Inglis is expected to fly to India after a brief hiatus from action.
According to a report in ESPNcricinfo, Inglis, who was secured for Rs 8.6 crore despite his unavailability for the first part of the season, is likely to be available for the last six matches of LSG, starting with the May 4 clash against MI.
The Rishabh Pant-led team has lost its last three matches to lie at the eighth spot in the points table.
While Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran have been part of their playing XI, South African spinner George Linde featured in two of their last three games.
Inglis amassed 278 runs at a strike rate of 162.57 for Punjab Kings last season but was released from the squad ahead of the 2026 auction.
