The English pacer was released by Mumbai Indians ahead of the auction. He was not picked up in the auction as the player didn't even register for the auction. Can Jofra Archer play for RCB in IPL 2024? Jofra Archer won't play any part for RCB in the IPL 2024. He didn't even register for auction, which makes him ineligible to play a part this season. Apart from that, Royal Challengers Bangalore have fulfilled their overseas players quota at the moment. A maximum of eight overseas players can be slotted in an IPL team and there are already eight foreign players in RCB's squad, hence they don't have any vacancy to find Archer a slot in the squad. The overseas players of Bangalore are - Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, Lockie Ferguson, Will Jacks, Cameron Green, Tom Curran, Alzarri Joseph and Reece Topley. Sauradeep Ash Mykhel source: mykhel.com
