Avesh Khan gets BCCI clearance to join LSG camp for IPL 2025, likely to be available for next match

BCCI’s Centre of Excellence has given a fit certificate to Avesh Khan to join the Lucknow Super Giants camp in the ongoing IPL 2025. The pacer, who was suffering from a knee injury, was recovering under the BCCI medical team and was reported to be missing at least three games for the franchise. However, the 28-year-old recovered fast and passed the medical test on Monday, March 24.

Avesh hasn’t played professional cricket since January 2025 and has been in Bengaluru for recovery since. Meanwhile, even though he has been given the clearance, it’s unclear when the player will join the Lucknow camp. The



Rishabh Pant-led side will be playing their upcoming game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 27 and it needs to be seen if the team management decides to play him in that game.

Multiple Lucknow players are suffering from different injuries, which is a major issue for the franchise. Mohsin Khan, who was retained by the team, was ruled out of IPL 2025, and Shardul Thakur was named the replacement. Mayank Yadav, who was retained for INR 11 crore, is expected to miss the first half of the tournament, while Akash Deep can miss two more games. Mitchell Marsh, on the other hand, will not bowl in the tournament.
