Avesh Khan gets BCCI clearance to join LSG camp for IPL 2025

Mumbai: 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.

However, Lucknow was on the verge of winning their opening game against Delhi Capitals but a couple of schoolboy errors from captain Pant cost them the match. In the first innings, they posted 209 runs on the board and reduced Delhi to 65/5 in the second. That’s when Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma managed to bail DC out but yet, Lucknow were much ahead in the race.
