ABU DHABI (Kashmir English): Two cricketers from Karachi Kings, who compete in the current Pakistan Super League (PSL) season, returned to the United Arab Emirates because their cricket board requested their return.
The Emirates Cricket Board has instructed Khuzaima Bin Tanveer and former captain Muhammad Waseem, who played for the Kings team, to compete in the current D50 domestic tournament.
The Karachi Kings management and the UAE cricket authorities have not issued any public statement about the situation, which remains unconfirmed by sources who said that players received orders to return immediately and participate in the 50-over tournament.
Karachi Kings received unexpected news about their players who will return to the team after they play two D50 matches. The players have received permission to resume their PSL duties after they finish their upcoming matches.
Karachi Kings VS Peshawar Zalmi
The match between Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi will take place on April 9 in Karachi, but Khuzaima and Waseem will only be available for that game if they finish their obligations in the UAE.
Muhammad Waseem has played three matches so far this season, scoring zero in the opening game against Quetta Gladiators, followed by 38 runs against Lahore Qalandars and 23 against Islamabad United.
Khuzaima Bin Tanveer has not yet played his first PSL match. Karachi Kings currently lead the PSL 11 standings because they have won three matches while David Warner serves as their team captain. They have earned six points, and their net run rate stands at 0.486.
