Eoin Morgan will lead Karachi Kings in absence of Imad Wasim
Sharjah: Karachi Kings, which will play in a crucial match against Peshawar Zalmi on Thursday, heaved a sigh of relief with their captain Imad Wasim rejoining the team after a day in hospital. The all-rounder has recovered from a mild concussion that he suffered while diving to take a catch in the match against Lahore Qalandars on Sunday.
Karachi fans were shocked to see their skipper being carried away in a stretcher after he pulled off the catch of Sohail Khan when he leant backward and his head hit the ground with a thud.
Wasim was kept under observation for 24 hours before release, though he has been advised two more days of rest. England’s One-day team captain Eoin Morgan, who joined the team, will be replacing him and lead the side.
Karachi had earlier put out a video of Wasim in hospital, where he commented: “This is to tell everyone that I am fine and will join the Karachi Kings soon.”
