New DELHI: South Africa wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock's participation in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) was on Thursday thrown into jeopardy as he would require 4-6 weeks to recover from a finger injury that he sustained during the second Test against New Zealand in Wellington. The 24-year-old de Kock, who has been a part of Delhi Daredevils since 2014, injured his right index finger, during the match which ended on March 18, with subsequent scans revealing an injury to the tendon."We will make a late call on his availability for the match (3rd Test) on Friday after he undergoes a fitness test. There is every likelihood of him missing out on the IPL because of the expected recovery time," Proteas team manager Dr Mohammed Moosajee said. (PTI)
