The Zalmi management has included first-class cricketer Umaid Asif as cover for the injured bowler. “Umaid will join Peshawar Zalmi as cover for fast bowler Hasan who is recovering from an ankle injury,” said a statement from the PSL secretariat. However, Ali will travel with Zalmi and his injury will be monitored on a daily basis. Hasan twisted his left ankle while playing football during a training session in New Zealand, which also forced him out of Pakistan’s deciding T20 international against the Kiwis.
In another shuffle for the tournament, Peshawar Zalmi have released West Indian batsman Evin Lewis, who had earlier withdrawn from the squad to play for his country in the World Cup qualifiers. Riki Wessels from England has joined the Zalmi squad as Lewis’ replacement.
He is the seventh foreign player in the defending champions’ lineup. South African all-rounder Albie Morkel also recently withdrew from PSL 3 due to family commitments. Australian bowler John Hastings will now be an active member of the Quetta Gladiators squad from the start of the tournament.
