Delhi Capitals have made a strategic move by signing England's versatile bowling all-rounder Rehan Ahmed as a replacement for Ben Duckett in the ongoing IPL season.

Ben Duckett, originally part of the squad, has stepped away to prioritize his national commitments with England and ensure better management of his physical and mental workload.

Rehan Ahmed, notable for being the youngest player to represent England in Test cricket, brings with him an impressive record of 49 wickets across various formats and has been acquired for Rs 75 lakh.
