RCB Gains Key Player Returns Ahead IPL 2025 Resumption

News summary

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are strengthening their squad ahead of the IPL 2025 resumption with key players like Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, and Phil Salt rejoining the team. Josh Hazlewood, RCB's highest wicket-taker this season with 18 wickets, is set to return after a shoulder injury and a brief exit due to the IPL suspension caused by India-Pakistan tensions, providing a major boost for the playoffs. Shepherd's availability remains uncertain as he is named in the West Indies ODI squads, which may clash with the IPL playoffs, while Bethell and Salt have limited availability due to international commitments. The IPL resumed after a ceasefire ended the week-long suspension linked to geopolitical tensions, with several Australian players expected to return amid individual decisions influenced by the situation. RCB currently sit second in the points table with eight wins from 11 matches and need just one more victory to confirm a playoff spot. The team's upcoming matches and player availability are crucial as they prepare for the tournament's conclusion on June 3.
