Delhi Capitals' Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly confirmed the development on Friday.

Both players had missed DC's previous game against Gujarat Titans. While Warner had picked up a thumb injury against Lucknow Super Giants earlier t𝐆his month, Ishant has been facing issues with his back.

"Both David Warner and Ishant Sharma are injured and are unavailable for tomorrow's 🌱game,"🃏 Ganguly said.

Warner had suffered an injury in his left thumb on April 12. The X-ray report had come back all clear but there was a lot of swelling around the knuckle area on the l༒eft hand. The southpaw subsequently made a comeback in the loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad last week.

However, it seems the Australian hasn't fully recovered as h🌳e missed DC's last game against the Gujara🧸t Titans on Wednesday.

Ishant, on﷽ the other hand, last played for DC on April 17 against the Titans.
