Liam Livingstone IPL arrival delayed further

Indeed, even as Punjab Rulers were taking on Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on Wednesday (April 5), Liam Livingstone, their hard-hitting English enroll, was having nets at the Old Trafford. On Thursday, he was seen going around the Manchester ground while Lancashire were engaged with a region game against Surrey. Obviously, his normal appearance in India for the IPL 2023 has been deferred and Punjab Lords don't yet have the foggiest idea when the very bold batsman would join the Mohali side. "He will be here the following week," said a PBKS official after the group's success, over Rajasthan Royals, second in as many games. Requests with Britain and Grains Cricket Board (ECB) and Lancashire Region Cricket Club (LCCC) have uncovered that Livingstone, purchased for INR 11.5 crores in the 2022 sale for his overall abilities, will require over a week and his appearance might be just around mid-April. "He's expected to show up mid-April," an ECB official told Cricket on Thursday. "He is showing up pleasantly." Apparently Livingstone isn't yet 100% and has been chipping away at his wellness with the LCCC colleagues. He has been disliking lower leg and knee and has not played serious cricket since December. "He is as yet dealing with his recovery on the injury. He is as of now chipping away at his recovery at Old Trafford. He will be in India around April 15, the dates are liquid," the ECB official said. Addressing Sky Sports on Thursday night, Livingstone said he is expecting clinical leeway in the following two or three days to travel to India. "Anticipating a decent IPL season," the all-rounder said on live TV following which demonstrates he could show up before the fifteenth of this current month. Livingstone has been energizing his PBKS partners from a distance through virtual entertainment posts and has done as such, when their games such a long ways in the IPL. Be that as it may, more than the consolation, the establishment would be searching for the capability with the bat, genuinely necessary for the side in the center request, and his mastery in handling. The Shikhar Dhawan side offer the best position in the focuses table with Gujarat Titans with four places. Up next for them will be one more away game, against Sunrisers Hyderabad, on April 9.
