Injured Haris Rauf replaced by Salman Irshad.
RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) – Fast bowler Haris Rauf has been replaced by Salman Irshad, the right-arm fast-medium bowler, in Lahore Qalandars’ camp after the former was ruled out due to an injury in his right foot.
Haris was likely to miss the next two to three HBL Pakistan Super League 2020 matches for his side. Salman played against Peshawar Zalmi on Friday but was not able to pick up any wicket. Qalandars lost the rain-hit 12-over match by 16 runs.
The replacement was approved by the event’s technical committee which includes PCB CEO Wasim Khan, Bazid Khan, Marina Iqbal, Sameer Khosa and Dr Sohail Saleem.
Harris experienced pain on the inner side of his right heel after Lahore Qalandars match against Islamabad United at the Gaddafi Stadium last Sunday. Though his scans ruled out any fracture but there certainly is stress reaction. Therefore he has been advised rest.
Salman, who came in as a silver category player, featured in the 2018 edition of the HBL Pakistan Super League and played three matches for Lahore Qalandars.
