IPL 2022: Delhi Capitals' coach Ponting expects Nortje, Warner boost for Lucknow game
Anrich Nortje and Australia opener David Warner will be available for Delhi Capitals' next match in the Indian Premier League (IPL), coach Ricky Ponting said after the team's defeat by Gujarat Titans on Saturday. Nortje has not played since last year's Twenty20 World Cup after being sidelined with a back and hip injury. Ponting said the 28-year-old has resumed bowling in the nets and would play Thursday's match against IPL debutants Lucknow Super Giants in Mumbai. "I think he has to get through another maybe four or five-over spell at 100 percent capacity and then I think if he gets clearance from Cricket South Africa, he should be right to go," Ponting said. "We have got a few more days before our next game, so hopefully he is available for selection for that one."
