Karachi Kings’ star wicketkeeper-batter Liton Das has been ruled out of HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 due to a thumb injury.
The Bangladeshi cricketer sustained the injury during a practice session, with scans later revealing a hairline fracture in his right thumb. He has since returned to Bangladesh for recovery and rehabilitation.
In a social media post, Liton Das expressed his disappointment at missing out on the tournament. He wished Karachi Kings success and requested fans to pray for his speedy recovery.
He wrote, “I was truly excited to play in the PSL for Karachi Kings, but the Almighty had other plans. During a practice session, I picked up a finger injury. Scans revealed a hairline fracture, and recovery will take at least 2 weeks.”
“So sadly, my PSL mission is over before it even began. I’m flying back to Bangladesh and seeking your prayers & love for a quick recovery. Wishing the very best of luck to my team Karachi Kings,” he added.
The Karachi Kings have announced Australian wicketkeeper-batter Ben McDermott as Litton Das’s replacement for PSL 10.
Karachi Kings, captained by David Warner, is set to play its first match of the tournament against Multan Sultans tonight at Karachi’s National Bank Stadium.
