NEW DELHI: Pakistan fast bowler
Haris Rauf
representing
Lahore Qalandars
in the
Pakistan Super League
, has been sidelined for the rest of the tournament due to a
shoulder injury
.
The 30-year-old sustained the injury while fielding against
Karachi Kings
on Friday night and had to leave the field.
His recovery is expected to take four to six weeks before he can regain full fitness.
"MRI scans and other tests have shown he has a disclosed shoulder which will take time to heal so he is out of the
PSL
," the Lahore Qalandars spokesperson said.
Lahore, the defending champions, have suffered a significant setback as they have now faced defeat in all four of their matches. Their latest loss came in a nail-biting encounter against Karachi Kings, where they were defeated by two wickets in the final over on Saturday.
Haris, who recently had his central contract terminated by the Pakistan Cricket Board on disciplinary grounds, is expected to take time to recover from his shoulder injury.
Pakistan's first international assignment after the PSL is a home T20 series against New Zealand in April.
