LSG to Send Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan and Naman Tiwari to Durban for SA20 Training Ahead of IPL 2026

BCCI clearance enables a supervised rehab stint in Durban to ready the quicks for IPL 2026.

Overview

  • Travel is planned for next week, with the trio set to work alongside Durban Super Giants during the SA20 window from December 26 to January 25.
  • LSG obtained BCCI approval as the players are not part of Vijay Hazare Trophy squads and do not hold central contracts.
  • The programme will be overseen by Lance Klusener, Tom Moody, Bharat Arun and Carl Crowe from the shared coaching setup across the two franchises.
  • Avesh Khan and Mohsin Khan are returning from knee surgeries in July and have been out of competitive action for months, with Mohsin missing the entire 2025 season.
  • Uncapped 20-year-old left-arm quick Naman Tiwari, bought for INR 1 crore, joins as a development pick, with duration in Durban dependent on fitness and possible Ranji second-leg call-ups from January 22.
