As the excitement builds for the Indian Premier League (IPL)<\/strong><\/a> 2024, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)<\/strong> have been hit with a major setback. Star English all-rounder Tom Curran <\/strong>was ruled out of the recently-concluded\u00a0Big Bash League (BBL)<\/strong><\/a> due to knee injury after playing just a few games. This has raised concerns about Curran\u2019s availability for the forthcoming IPL season.<\/p>\n

Tom Curran\u2019s road to IPL 2024<\/h2>\n

Having been acquired by RCB for a noteworthy INR 1.5 crore in the recent auction, Curran\u2019s journey to RCB is taking unexpected turn even before getting started because of his injury. The Bengaluru-based franchise had pinned high hopes on Curran\u2019s all-round abilities to significantly impact the IPL 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n

Three players RCB can vouch for in case of Tom Curran\u2019s availability<\/h2>\n

In the wake of Curran\u2019s potential unavailability, RCB are now forced to explore alternative options to fill the void left by the injured all-rounder. The team will likely consider capable all-rounders who can contribute effectively with both bat and ball.<\/p>\n

1) Jason Holder \u2013 West Indies<\/h2>\n

One potential candidate that RCB might target is the seasoned Caribbean all-rounder Jason Holder<\/strong>. Despite going unsold in the IPL 2024 auction, Holder\u2019s wealth of experience and versatility could make him an ideal replacement for Curran. The 32-year-old brings a proven track record in all facets of the game.<\/p>\n

2) James Neesham \u2013 New Zealand<\/h2>\n

RCB could also turn their attention to James Neesham<\/strong>, the T20I specialist from New Zealand<\/strong>. Neesham\u2019s stellar batting prowess and classy bowling skills make him a compelling option to fill the void if Curran leaves. His inclusion could bring valuable depth to the squad of the Faf du Plessis-led side<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3) Michael Bracewell \u2013 New Zealand<\/h2>\n

An intriguing option for RCB could be Michael Bracewell<\/strong>, who was part of the team\u2019s squad in the previous season but was released ahead of the IPL 2024 auction. The 32-year-old Kiwi all-rounder might triumphantly return to his old camp, providing the franchise with a familiar face to compensate for Curran\u2019s unfortunate injury.<\/p>\n
