Wayne Parnell has replaced the injured Reece Topley in the Royal Challengers Bangalore squad.
The England pace bowler will miss the rest of the IPL after suffering a dislocated shoulder earlier this week.
Topley landed awkwardly on his 2.01m frame on Monday while fielding against the Mumbai Indians and left the ground.
The star bowler has reportedly flown home, and his team announced on Twitter that he was replaced by Proteas all-rounder Parnell for the rest of the season.
Parnell captained the Pretoria Capitals to the final of the inaugural SA20, making a big impact with bat and ball.
“Thank you for putting your body on the line and giving your 100%. We will miss you and wish you a speedy recovery, mate,” RCB tweeted on Friday. “Fearsome with the ball and fearless on the field! We don’t just call you top lad Topley for nothing.”
The 29-year-old’s exit is the second blow to the team in days, after top-order batsman Rajat Patidar was ruled out with a heel injury on Tuesday.
The franchise said hometown pacer Vyshak Vijaykumar (26) would replace Patidar in the squad.
Bangalore are one from two this season after losing to the Kolkata Knight Riders by 81 runs on Thursday evening.
