Shahid Afridi ruled out of PSL's Abu Dhabi leg

LAHORE: Multan Sultans' star all-rounder Shahid Afridi was on Monday ruled out of the Abu Dhabi leg of the Pakistan Super League 6 due to a back injury.

The former Pakistan captain was training in Karachi for the upcoming PSL 6 matches when he experienced pain in his lower back following which he was examined by a doctor who has advised him complete rest.

Afridi, who appeared in the four Karachi-leg matches, has been replaced by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's left-arm-spinner Asif Afridi who would be joining the Sultans squad in Abu Dhabi.

The PSL had been suspended on March 4 after seven Covid-19 cases had come to light. IANS
