SUNIL NARINE TO MISS START OF HBL PSL 2019

- Off-spin allrounder nursing a finger injury and participation in the tournament to be determined after seeking medical advice

- Somerset leg-spinner Max Waller drafted in as cover for Narine

Dubai, 12 February:

Quetta Gladiators have been dealt an injury blow with all-rounder Sunil Narine unavailable for the start of the HBL PSL due to a finger injury.

Narine, who was part of a blockbuster pre-season trade between Quetta Gladiators and Lahore Qalandars, is nursing a finger injury which he aggravated during the recently-concluded BPL.

Narine will be seeing his medical team immediately and, depending on medical

advice, is expected to join the squad later on in the tournament.

“We hope to have Narine with us as soon as possible because he is a true mach winner,” said Quetta Gladiators coach Moin Khan.

“It’s a blow just before the start of HBL PSL but we will try to cope with it. We have got the depth in our squad as there are plenty other match-winners. We wish Narine a quick recovery and hope to welcome him very soon during HBL PSL.”

To cover for this injury, Gladiators have called up Somerset leg-spinner Max Waller.

“Obviously, you cannot like for like replacement of a big player like Narine but we have drafted in Waller and we are confident that he will add value to our team ,” said Moin.

Quetta Gladiators start their HBL PSL 2019 campaign on February 15 when they play last year’s finalists Peshawar Zalmi.
 
Now that fawad Ahmed is out, either they play 2 left arm spinners or a medium pacer.
Where is Sunil Narine?
 
Another miraculous recovery from an international cricketer :)

PSL franchises should take note.

PSL should find a window after the IPL. Otherwise this will be a problem

I think Narine deserves the benefit of the doubt. He was injured with this before the tournament and also didn't play for the West Indies against England.

Oh, that would be way worse. Players would be needing rest after such a long tournament like IPL.

There will always be a couple of abd's and Narines but it doesn't really affect PSL that much. I think we're fine in terms of schedule
