The timing could give LSG a meaningful option in the closing stretch of the league phase, provided the schedule aligns.<\/p>\n<h2>Josh Inglis likely to link up for the MI game<\/h2>\n<p>Inglis\u2019s delay has been linked to personal commitments during the early part of the season. He was not available for the first half of IPL 2026 because of his wedding, which was planned for mid-April.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Inglis married on April 18 and is expected to remain away for a further period before travelling to India.<\/li>\n<li>If he arrives in time from May 4, he could be considered for Lucknow\u2019s last six league matches, depending on the team\u2019s XI and combination choices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Recent form and IPL 2025 numbers that earned him a deal<\/h2>\n<p>Inglis\u2019s last IPL campaign produced encouraging returns, even though his services were not retained by his previous franchise. In IPL 2025, he played for Punjab Kings and delivered 278 runs at a strike rate of 162.57.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Despite that output, Inglis was released ahead of the 2026 auction.<\/li>\n<li>Lucknow Super Giants then bought him for INR 8.6 crore at the 2026 auction, fully aware that he would miss part of the tournament.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Overseas balance at LSG and the impact of other availability changes<\/h2>\n<p>LSG\u2019s current squad planning has leaned on a set of overseas players, though not always with a full fourth slot. The franchise has been using names such as Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Nicholas Pooran in their overseas mix, while a fourth overseas pick has not been a constant requirement.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran have been part of LSG\u2019s overseas core during this phase.<\/li>\n<li>George Linde, a South African spinner, has appeared in two of the last three matches.<\/li>\n<li>Pooran\u2019s form has dipped, with only 51 runs across six innings at a strike rate of 80.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lucknow also faced another selection concern with a fresh report indicating that Anrich Nortje has left the camp last week. The exact reason for his departure has not been specified.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nortje played just one match in IPL 2026 so far.<\/li>\n<li>That appearance came against Delhi Capitals on April 1, where he finished with figures of 0\/39 from four overs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>LSG\u2019s points position and next fixtures<\/h2>\n<p>On-field results have been challenging for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026. They currently sit eighth in the points table, having managed only two wins from six matches.<\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s immediate focus after May 4 is also clear. LSG will next face Rajasthan Royals at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Wednesday, as they look to turn their campaign back in the right direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lucknow Super Giants, captained by Rishabh Pant, have been handed a potential personnel lift in IPL 2026 with Australian
