Bengaluru, May 5:
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) opener Phil Salt has flown back to England for scans on his injured finger which has sidelined him for the side’s last three IPL 2026 matches.
In Salt’s absence, RCB have got his England compatriot Jacob Bethell to partner with Virat Kohli at the top of the order.
Salt, 29, damaged a finger on his left hand while diving to save a boundary during RCB’s defeat to Delhi Capitals at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 18.
As per a report in ESPNCricinfo, Salt, who holds a central contract with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), returned home at the request of the national team’s management to undergo further assessment.
“RCB would be eligible to sign a replacement for Salt under IPL regulations in the event that the injury is deemed season-ending, but they are expected to give him every opportunity to recover,” further said the report.
