The West Indies leg-spinner had injured himself during the ICC World Twenty20 final on April 3 and has not played a game since then.
He will be replaced by chinaman bowler Tabraiz Shamsi, who plays for South African franchise Titans.
....Really pleased to be a part of @RCBTweets for the remainder of the @IPL 👌#PlayBold#RCB#IPL2016

Shamsi, 26, previously played in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) after catching the eye of the touring West Indies in South Africa in 2014-15.
He enjoyed reasonable success at the CPL, claiming 11 wickets in seven games at an average of 13.27 for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in 2015.
