Relief for Karachi Kings after major blow in last match

Karachi Kings captain Imad Wasim is recovering after getting injured last night (Sunday) at Dubai, in what turned out to be a nail biting contest with arch rivals Lahore Qalandars.

“[Imad] will stay in for observation, as he has gone to the hospital and is going to have a CT scan, but he seems okay to me,” said Kings head coach Mickey Arthur at the post match conference, much to the relief of the team.

The Kings captain injured himself after taking a catch on the ball of fellow fast bowler Mohammad Amir. Imad ran backwards before taking a catch from near his face but tumbled on his back, causing his neck and head to hit hard on the ground.

Meanwhile, the Lahore Qalandars went on to win their second game of the season, beating Karachi Kings in the tournament’s second super over match.
