New Delhi: There seems to be no end to Delhi Daredevils' miseries after star all-rounder Chris Morris pulled out of the remainder of the Indian Premier League owing to a back injury.
South Africa's right-arm fast medium Junior Dala has been called in as replacement for Morris, who played four games aggregating 46 runs and three wickets to show for his efforts.
Dala came into prominence during the recent series against India, where he played all three T20 Internationals taking seven wickets. He was one of the finds for South Africa in the T20 series which they lost 1-2. Dala will be wearing jersey No 3 for Daredevils.
Morris, who has been plagued by a back injury, expressed his disappointment on Twitter and said, "Gutted to have left @DelhiDaredevils due to injury. Thank you to everyone at our amazing franchise for the support! Let's make magic happen men! What a story it would be! #DilDilli".
Delhi Daredevils, who are at the bottom of the IPL table with one win from six games, will face Kolkata Knight Riders at home later on Friday.
