RCB have signed Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani as a temporary replacement for Lungi Ngidi.
Ngidi will leave the IPL by May 26 to prepare for the World Test Championship final.
Muzarabani has been signed for INR 75 lakh. He previously worked as a net bowler for Lucknow Super Giants in the 2022 season.
Ngidi will be available for RCB's upcoming league fixture against Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 23.
Josh Hazlewood, RCB's original overseas pick, is recovering from a shoulder injury but is expected to join the team ahead of the playoffs. Hazlewood will also feature in the WTC final.
Muzarabani, a tall hit-the-deck pacer, has represented Zimbabwe in 12 Tests, 55 ODIs and 70 T20Is.
He has also featured in franchise leagues, playing for Multan Sultans and Karachi Kings in the PSL, Gulf Giants in the ILT20, and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the CPL.
