KARACHI – Babar Azam led Karachi Kings handed a blow on Thursday as star pacer Mohammad Amir got injured ahead of the first game of Pakistan Super League seventh edition.
Reports in local media said the inclusion of 29-year-old is unsure at the moment for the opening match as Kings are set to take on defending champions Multan Sultans at Karachi National Stadium today.
Amir, who represented Green Shirts in 36 Tests, 61 ODIs, and 50 T20Is, did not participate in the practice session in wake of the injury. The left-arm paceman is said to be a crucial player for his side and a lot depends on him if the Kings are to lift the trophy.
