In a crucial news development, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) have not included overseas fast bowler Nathan Ellis in their starting XI for their 12th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) against the Delhi Capitals (DC) being played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

DC vs PBKS: Why is Nathan Ellis Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

During the toss, it was revealed that Nathan Ellis is once again not included in the starting PBKS playing XI for today’s DC vs PBKS match. However, he is absolutely fit and part of the five substitute members list out of which one can be used as an Impact Player at any moment in the game. While coming as the Impact Player during the last match against Kolkata Knight Riders, Ellis bowled a fine spell where he took a wicket and gave away 29 runs in his four overs. The Punjab Kings pacer has bowled really well so far in IPL 2023 having taken as many as 10 wickets from 7 games at an economy of less than and also delivered a brilliant match-winning bowling performance against Rajasthan Royals. Thus, he is very much likely to be drafted as the Impact Player for Punjab Kings in the second innings.

“We would have bowled too but we are batting first, so looking forward to it. It is beautiful that they are putting up good performances. They are maturing and those are great signs. We have got one change – Raza comes back in and Rajapaksa misses out,” said Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan during the toss.
