Tim Seifert to replace injured Ali Khan

DUBAI: New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman Tim Seifert has been signed by Kolkata Knight Riders as a replacement for injured US pacer Ali Khan for the remaining matches in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

According to a report in stuff.co.nz, Seifert, who was part of CPL-winning team Trinbago Knight Riders, was a recent callup for the Brendon McCullum-coached KKR and will subsequently miss the first four Plunket Shield rounds in New Zealand.

Khan had been brought in as replacement for English pacer Harry Gurney, who had to undergo a shoulder surgery before the start of IPL.

Khan, the first player from the US to join an IPL franchise, was, however, unable to find a place in the playing XI in the eight matches which the team has played so far. IANS
