Proteas fast bowler Lungi Ngidi has been released by Delhi Capitals for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 as he continues his recovery from a lower back injury. 

The 27-year-old sustained the injury during the playoffs of the Betway SA20 last month.

Ngidi is currently being monitored by the Cricket South Africa (CSA) medical team and undergoing rehab with his provincial team, the Momentum Multiply Titans. He is expected to return to play in the second half of the ongoing CSA T20 Challenge in April.
