Delhi Capitals on Thursday announced signing of 27-year-old Australian bowling all-rounder Daniel Sams as replacement for Englishman Jason Roy, who will not be a part of the upcoming season of the Dream11 Indian Premier League due to personal reasons.
He is a part of Australia’s limited overs squad for the tour of England next month, a statement from the franchise said.
On joining Delhi Capitals, the left-arm fast medium bowler said: “The IPL is a huge platform for any cricketer, and back home, we all follow the tournament extremely closely every year. I feel fortunate to be a part of it this year, and I’m thankful to the Delhi Capitals management for giving me this opportunity. I can’t wait to join the rest of the players in the UAE.”
Sams will be joining fellow Australians Marcus Stoinis and Alex Carey at the Delhi Capitals.
