Star Proteas batsman Rassie van der Dussen has received a call-up to join IPL team the Rajasthan Royals.

This website has independently confirmed the report by Netwerk24 that states Van der Dussen is set to join the Royals pending a fitness test.

It’s said that this fitness test could take place on Monday, and Van der Dussen should then officially link up with the Royals soon after should all go well.

He will effectively slot in as a replacement for the injured Ben Stokes, and will join fellow Proteas Chris Morris and David Miller at the IPL team.
