Mark Boucher to replace injured Haddin for KKR

Kolkata: Kolkata Knight Riders today named South African wicketkeeper Mark Boucher as a replacement for the injured Brad Haddin in the ongoing Indian Premier League.
Boucher, who represented Royal Challengers Bangalore earlier, will be available for the Knight Riders ahead of their clash against Deccan Chargers on May 3.
“We are fortunate to have someone like Mark Boucher as Brad’s replacement. He comes with a lot of experience and a terrific track record in all forms of the game,” Knight Riders CEO and MD, Venky Mysore said.
Aussie wicketkeeper Haddin’s IPL campaign was cut short after a fracture was detected in his finger. An MRI in Delhi on Thursday revealed that the injury he sustained during Australia’s series in Bangladesh had not healed.
He will return home and undergo a surgery.
