Josh Inglis to Join Lucknow Super Giants Ahead of May 4 IPL Match Against Mumbai Indians

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are set to strengthen their IPL 2026 campaign as Australian wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis is expected to join the squad ahead of their May 4 match against Mumbai Indians. Inglis missed the first half of the season due to his wedding on April 18 and subsequent break. Bought for Rs 8.6 crore, Inglis could play in LSG's final six league matches, potentially boosting a struggling batting lineup. Meanwhile, South African pacer Anrich Nortje has left the LSG camp for undisclosed reasons.
