Sunrisers Hyderabad have lost Mitchell Marsh for the rest of the Indian Premier League and have called up Jason Holder as a replacement.

Australia allrounder Marsh pulled up just two balls into the first over of his Sunrisers bow against Royal Challengers Bangalore with an ankle problem.

The 28-year-old completed the over but didn't bowl again and looked in visible pain when coming out to bat when he was dismissed for a golden duck.

Subsequent scans have ruled Marsh out of the remainder of the tournament. He saw his 2017 campaign also curtailed due to injury after a shoulder problem cut-short his second year with Rising Pune Supergiants.

As a replacement, Sunrisers have called on West Indies Test skipper Holder to fill the void. Holder has previously represented Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, either side of one outing for the Sunrisers.
