Sri Lankan all-rounder Dasun Shanaka has joined Delhi Capitals ahead of the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) scheduled to begin on March 22.

Dasun has reportedly been brought in to replace Harry Brook, who is serving a two-year IPL ban.

The former Sri Lanka captain played a key role in helping Dubai Capitals win the title in the recent International League T20 (ILT20) tournament held in the United Arab Emirates. His impressive performances in the tournament are believed to have influenced the decision to recruit Delhi Capitals for the upcoming season.

Dasun Shanaka is already training with the Delhi Capitals team, and an official announcement about his inclusion is expected soon.
