3 Players who can replace Reece Topley in RCB squad for IPL 2024

With the upcoming Pakistan tour of England, many English players who were playing in the Indian Premier League 2024, have left home to assume national duties. Left-arm pacer Reece Topley, who featured for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the ongoing 17th edition, has now taken his return flight to England as the preparations for the T20 World Cup 2024 begin for the Three Lions.

RCB will be missing the services of Reece Topley for the remainder of the season. Moreover, attacking all-rounder Will Jacks has also returned home alongside his fellow national teammate. This obviously leaves a big void in the RCB setup, as they look to secure a spot in the IPL 2024 Playoffs with a convincing win against Chennai Super Kings on Saturday, May 18.

Topley being someone who can trouble the batters with his genuine out swinger, RCB will be desperate to find a like-to-like replacement for the pacer. Without further ado, let's dive deep into some probables who might be swept in by the franchise after the ouster of Topley.

Here are the three players who could potentially replace Reece Topley in RCB's squad-

3. Duan Jansen

Duan Jansen is a genuine pacer who can utilize his height to generate extra bounce. The Protea cricketer's express pace can cause a lot of trouble to the opposition, especially on tricky surfaces. Similar to his twin brother Marco, Duan can provide swing with the ball and be handy as a batter lower down the order. In a short career, the all-rounder has shown great promise, and RCB may believe in the South African cricketer to get his services, keeping the Playoffs qualification chances in mind.
