KARACHI: Karachi Kings appeared to have suffered a major setback as their pacer, Mohammad Amir, has been ruled out of their next match due to a reported groin injury.
Kings are scheduled to take on Mutan Sultans on Wednesday, February 22, and will take on Sultans again on Sunday, February 26 and the left-arm pacer could also miss that encounter as well.
Amir will continue to work on his rehab and will join the squad again, once he is fully fit.
The injury list in HBL PSL 8 is growing as Karachi Kings pacer Mir Hamza was also recently ruled out of the rest of the tournament.
The left-arm pacer fractured his finger during Karachi’s first match against Peshawar Zalmi on Tuesday. He was replaced by another left-arm pacer, Akif Javed.
Kings registered their first win of the season on Sunday against Lahore Qalandars, after suffering three consecutive losses in first three games.
