JP Duminy

Duminy has opted out of the IPL citing personal reasons

Delhi Daredevils might have a strong foreign contingent but their depth will be tested as they lost two crucial stars ahead of IPL 2017. While Quinton de Kock decided to forego the IPL due to a finger injury, his compatriot JP Duminy pulled out due to personal reasons.

In the all-rounders department, Daredevils are well stocked with the likes of Corey Anderson, Chris Morris, Angelo Mathews and Carlos Brathwaite all in the squad. But a player of Duminy's quality and the experience that he brings will surely be missed.all-rounders department, Daredevils are well stocked with the likes of Corey Anderson, Chris Morris, Angelo Mathews and Carlos Brathwaite all in the squad.

Speaking about his decision, the South African all-rounder was keen to reiterate his wish to play for the franchise once again. Duminy said: "It has been a very difficult decision for me to make, but it was for purely personal reasons. I am grateful for the support and understanding from the franchise. It has been an absolute privilege to have played for and led a talented mix of players. I certainly hope to play a part for the franchise in the near future."
