KARACHI: Defending champions Lahore Qalandars player Pervez Hossain Emman has been officially dropped from the 11th season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
In a statement released by the ownership group, Emman was ruled out of the match due to a shoulder injury he sustained in a collision with Asif Afridi during the PSL match against Multan Sultans in the Lahore leg on April 3.
The Bangladesh batsman will leave for home tonight after Saturday’s opener of the double-header against Peshawar Zalmi at the National Bank Stadium.
The young wicketkeeper-batsman represented Qalandars in three PSL 11 matches and scored 71 runs at a fiery strike rate of 161.36, which included two fours and five sixes in a 19-ball 45-run innings.
Notably, the 23-year-old has represented Bangladesh in 30 T20Is, scoring 607 runs at a decent strike rate of 130.25, including three fifties and a century.
For the uninitiated, the three-time champions are currently sitting sixth on the PSL points table with 11 points, having won two and lost two from four games so far, with two points and a net run-rate of -0.051.
A win for them would take them to the fourth spot above Karachi Kings, currently occupying that spot, with the Qlanders having a better net run-rate compared to the Kings.
