Indian Premier League side Delhi Daredevils have signed England bowler Liam Plunkett to replace injured South African paceman Kagiso Rabada.

This will be the "first stint" in the IPL for the 33-year-old Plunkett, the Daredevils said in announcing the signing on Saturday.

Rabada had signed a £460,000 deal with the Daredevils, who open their IPL campaign on Sunday against Kings XI Punjab. However, he has been ruled out for up to three months with a back stress fracture.

Yorkshire bowler Plunkett has played in 13 Tests, 65 one-day internationals and 15 T20 internationals for England.

The Indian Premier League gets underway on Sky Sports on Saturday, with live coverage of the opening ceremony before Chennai Super Kings play host to last year's winners the Mumbai Indians.
