All-rounder Kieron Pollard, who is former skipper of West Indies T20 team has been ruled out of the HBL PSL 2020 due to right thigh injury.
Pollard, who was expected to join the Peshawar Zalmi squad after the conclusion of West Indies tour of Sri Lanka, is experiencing occasional tightness at his right rectus femoris quad muscle because of an injury sustained earlier.
Carlos Brathwaite will stay with Peshawar Zalmi for the complete duration of the HBL Pakistan Super League 2020 in place of Kieron Pollard. Braithwaite was originally called-up as a cover for Pollard till 6th March.
Kieron Pollard said: "With a heavy heart I wish my teammates at Peshawar Zalmi all the best for the remainder of the HBL Pakistan Super League 2020. I am sorry I cannot be there in person this year but the team has some inspirational characters leading the charge and I'm sure can give Daren [Sammy] his first trophy as a head coach."
Pollard had turned out in the 2017, 2018 and 2019 editions of the HBL PSL. In 33 HBL PSL matches, the West Indian scored 650 runs, which include three half-centuries, at a strike-rate of 166.24.
Peshawar Zalmi will face Lahore Qalandars at Qaddafi Stadium on March 10 and Multan Sultan at National Stadium on March 13.
