New Delhi, May 4 (PTI) Royal Challengers Bengaluru opener Phil Salt has returned to England for scans on a finger injury he suffered last month.
The injury has kept Salt out of RCB’s last three matches, with compatriot Jacob Bethell at the top of the order.
The 29-year-old reportedly “damaged a finger on his left hand” while diving to save a boundary at backward square leg during RCB’s loss to Delhi Capitals at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 18.
