Lahore Qalandars' suffered a serious blow ahead of Pakistan's leg of the Pakistan Super League, as their icon player AB de Villiers will not be able to rejoin the squad due to an injury.
It was initially decided that AB de Villiers will return to join the squad for Qalandars' final two league games, but following a back injury he has been advised rest by his doctors, a spokesman of the Lahore Qalandar's said.
"It's a disappointing news for Lahore Qalandars management and its fans that AB de Villiers will not be able to make it for Pakistan's leg of PSL," Sameen Rana, the manager of Lahore Qalandars, said in a statement.
"Any update on replacement, if any, will be communicated in due course," he said.
The former South African cricketer, AB de Villiers, who played seven games for Qalandars in PSL 2019 scored 218 runs at an average of 54.50.
"I am very disappointed that I will not be able to play in front of the passionate Pakistani cricket fans. I saw my doctor who has advised complete rest for two weeks and, unfortunately, that rules me out of the games in Karachi," de Villiers said.
"I hope to be a part of the PSL next year and very much hope to play my part in the return of international cricket to the country. I am backing Lahore Qalandars to go all the way and win the trophy this year."
