Australia seamer Kane Richardson, who was retained by Rajasthan Royals, ahead of the 2015 season, has opted out of the IPL citing personal reasons. The franchise is yet to name a replacement, although they were well stocked in pace-bowling options with the likes of captain Shane Watson, Tim Southee, James Faulkner, Dhawal Kulkarni, Rusty Theron, Chris Morris, Ben Cutting and Stuart Binny.
Richardson has played 10 matches in IPL, including seven of the Royals' 14 last season, for 11 wickets at an economy of 7.9. More recently, he took 10 wickets from nine matches for Adelaide Strikers in BBL.
