Despite a significant challenge, the Karachi Kings’ management is determined to assemble a strong team for their upcoming match against the Quetta Gladiators on Thursday.
The team faces a daunting obstacle as 13 of its players are battling food poisoning, a situation severe enough to necessitate the hospitalization of Leus du Plooy following a decline in his health.
The adversity doesn’t stop there; James Vince of England and Daniel Sams of Australia were sidelined for Wednesday’s match against Islamabad United due to stomach issues. Sams, along with Tabraiz Shamsi, will also miss Thursday’s game.
Given these difficulties, the PSL technical committee has allowed the Kings to field just two foreign players in their lineup.
The health crisis extends to the coaching staff, with head coach Phil Simmons experiencing similar symptoms.
In a related development, the Multan Sultans have cancelled their Thursday training session. The team’s management has announced that some players will undergo fitness evaluations, and future training sessions will be planned according to the guidance of the medical panel and relevant authorities.
