This season’s Pakistan Super League (PSL) is about to start, but the flamboyant Singaporean-Australian cricketer Tim David won’t be available to the Multan Sultans for at least the first seven games.
The 26-year-old was instructed by his trainers to minimize his exertion owing to the large number of games he has played in the previous six months. The player is now in South Africa competing for MI Cape Town in the SAT20 competition.
Tim David stated his dedication to the PSL and his connection with the league, claiming that he couldn’t skip the competition despite the advice to pick between the SAT20 and PSL.
Tim David will join the Multan Sultans team in the first week of March and miss the first seven games. If the club qualifies for the playoffs, he will be available for the last three games and those as well.
Multan Sultans CEO Haider Azhar revealed that no replacement has been sought to cover Tim David’s absence and that the team will instead use David Miller from South Africa to fill the same position.
After participating in the first eight games for Multan Sultans, David Miller is scheduled to return to South Africa. According to the team, there is no need to bring in another substitute because Miller will be available for the early games and Tim David will be available for the latter games.
Wayne Parnell’s injury has caused yet another blow for the Multan Sultans. The left-arm pacer’s status for the first matches is doubtful because of a groin injury he acquired during SAT20. To determine the nature of the damage, the team is still awaiting the complete medical report.
Despite these misfortunes, the Multan Sultans still have a potent lineup with to the availability of Rilee Rossouw and Keiron Pollard for the whole PSL season. However, because of Ireland’s series against Bangladesh, pacer Josh Little could not make it to the playoffs.
