Jamieson, who was acquired by the four-time IPL champions for his base price of ₹1 crore, has been ruled out of the tournament due to back injury.

The 28-year-old New Zealand pace bowler was ruled out of the two-match Test series against England last month after a recurrence of his back stress fracture.

MS Dhoni's side is scheduled to play the tournament opener against defending champions Gujarat Titans on March 31 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Ryan Cook appointed as SRH fielding coach for IPL 2023

Netherlands head coach Ryan Cook has been roped in as the fielding coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad. This is after the South African held the same role for Sunrisers Eastern Cape in SA20 2023.

Cook replaced Hemang Badani as the fielding coach of the Orange Army in IPL 2023, as the latter was elevated to the batting coach role.

However, Cook will miss the Netherlands' international tours of Zimbabwe and South Africa in late March for five combined ODI matches. Ryan van Niekerk will take charge of the Dutch team on an interim basis.

Cook will work under SRH's new head coach Brian Lara, who replaced Australia's Tom Moody for IPL 2023. The 2016 IPL champions start their campaign against the Rajasthan Royals on April 2 at their home ground - Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.
