 "IPL 2024: Kolkata Knight Riders announce Phil Salt as replacement for Jason Roy ahead of new season")
Kolkata Knight Riders have named Phil Salt as a replacement for Jason Roy after the latter pulled out of the upcoming TATA IPL 2024 owing to personal reasons. Having remained unsold in the auction after representing Delhi Capitals last year, this will be Salt’s second season in the IPL.
Salt played nine matches for DC last season and scored 218 runs at an average of 27.25 and a strike rate of 163.91. Salt has played 21 T20Is for England and scored 639 runs.
Bought at his reserve price of INR 1.5 crore, the aggressive wicket-keeper batter from England scored two consecutive T20I centuries against the West Indies in December last year. His 48-ball century in the 4th T20I at Trinidad is also the joint-fastest for England.
KKR begin their IPL 2024 campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad on 23 March at the Eden Gardens.
