Delhi Daredevils on Monday revealed that all-rounder Jean-Paul Duminy has withdrawn from the IPL 2017.
Delhi Daredevils Chief Executive Hemant Dua confirmed that the South African star will be unavailable for the tournament owing to personal reasons.
“We respect JP's decision. We are naturally very disappointed to not have JP in our midst this year, but as a franchise we clearly understand his position. At this stage we can only confirm that we will look for a replacement at an appropriate time,” said Mr Dua.
