Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have signed South African all-rounder George Linde as a replacement for Wanindu Hasaranga for the remainder of IPL 2026. Hasaranga, who was acquired by the franchise for ₹2 crore at the auction, has been ruled out of the entire tournament due to a persistent hamstring injury sustained during the opening match of the 2026 T20 World Cup. His unavailability was further confirmed after he failed to undergo the mandatory fitness assessments required to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Sri Lanka Cricket. George Linde joins the squad at his reserve price of ₹1 crore and is set to make his IPL debut. A veteran in the T20 circuit with 250 matches under his belt, Linde brings a wealth of experience from leagues like the SA20, The Hundred, and the PSL. The 34-year-old left-arm orthodox spinner and hard-hitting lower-order batter has claimed 218 wickets and scored over 2,700 runs in the shortest format. While he may not feature in LSG’s immediate fixture against SRH on April 12, he is expected to provide critical tactical variety to the team's bowling unit as the season progresses #lsg #lsgvskkr #hasaranga #t20worldcup IPL 2026 LSG squad update Lucknow Super Giants news George Linde IPL Wanindu Hasaranga replacement South Africa spinner IPL IPL 2026 transfers LSG team changes IPL breaking news IPL player replacement LSG overseas players IPL 2026 updates T20 league news Visit https://thesportstak.com for lightning-fast live scores, special updates, highlights, and specific statistics of players and teams.
