Australian all-rounder Nathan Coulter-Nile, who was bought by Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 mega-auction, has been ruled out of the rest of the season due to an injury. Coulter-Nile was part of the Royals’ playing XI in their first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), where they won by 61 runs.

After suffering an injury in the first match of the season Nathan Coulter-Nile could not come back to complete his full quota of overs. Since then, the Indian India pacer Navdeep Saini replaced him in the Royals’ playing XI for the next couple of matches against Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

There is not much information about his injury but the RR team management has confirmed that Nathan Coulter-Nile will not be taking part in the rest of the season.

“Until we meet again, NCN. Speedy recovery,” Rajasthan Royals tweeted. Coulter-Nile, who’s been a part of IPL cricket since 2013, had earlier said, “It’s good to be picked by the Royals. They’ve always carried a solid reputation on the field and have been one of the tougher teams to beat in the competition, no matter what the situation of the game.”

A couple of weeks ago, Nathan Coulter-Nile said, “For me, the target is to help win the trophy for the Royals, obviously I’d love to be out there and help the team, but in a long tournament you have to be ready for anything the management asks you to do and just prepare yourself for the long-haul.”
