Australian seamer Kane Richardson has given up his $816,000 IPL payday to be with his family for the birth of his first child.
The 29-year-old opted out of his contract with Royal Challengers Bangalore who have named leg-spinner Adam Zampa as a replacement for his compatriot Richardson.
Zampa, 28, joins the likes of India internationals' Yuzvendra Chahal, Washington Sundar, Moeen Ali and Pawan Negi, bolstering the team’s spin attack.
Zampa is currently in England as part of Australia’s limited over squad for the three T20Is and as many ODIs between September 4-16.
