Andy Flower, the coach of the RCB, laments Will Jacks’ absence

The first club to suffer from the loss of a vital player—Will Jacks—was Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who lost to the Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday night in the first round of elimination.

At the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) defeated the Royals of Cricket Bangladesh (RCB) by four wickets with an over remaining, despite a little stall in the middle overs. Last month, Jacks performed a phoenix-like comeback for the RCB at the same stadium by launching an astonishing six-hit assault in the span of six minutes. After Jacks’ crucial 41-ball century against the Gujarat Titans, their crucial net run rate increased to the point where they outperformed all four Playoff qualifiers. Jacks, however, was summoned back to England to get ready for the T20 World Cup, which begins on June 2, therefore, he was unavailable for RCB in the Eliminator.

Head coach of the RCB, Andy Flower, said that they really missed Jacks. When asked about the current state of the cricket globe and schedule at midday on Wednesday night, Flower said, “It is a bit of a problem that the cricket world and the cricket calendar have at the moment.” “I believe that contests need to exercise caution in this regard since the competition’s credibility is very vital. Thus, there are puzzles throughout the game that need to be solved. I’m not sure how, considering how busy I am right now. We simply attempt to make the most of it since, at the time, it is something I cannot control. Jacks had a great time working with us. We relished his strength at No. 3, and his absence was regrettable,” he said.
