Haris Rauf, the star fast bowler of Lahore Qalandars has been ruled out of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL 9) due to injury on Sunday.

“Haris Rauf will be unavailable for the remaining Pakistan Super League after suffering a dislocated shoulder during a last night match against Karachi Kings at the Gaddafi Stadium,” Lahore Qalandars said in a press release.

A key Pakistani bowler fell on his shoulder and sustained a dislocated shoulder while attempting to capture the catch of Hasan Ali against the Karachi Kings in the 20th over during Saturday match.

The medical panel, after consultation, concluded that he needed four to six weeks to recover, forcing him to miss the PSL season.

On Saturday night, Qalandars were defeated by Kings in a last-ball contest. The medical panel determined, following consultations, that Haris Rauf would require four to six weeks to rehabilitate from the injury. Consequently, he will be absent from the remaining PSL Season 9 matches.

Lahore Qalandars Skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi grieved Rauf’s injury, which will prevent him from playing for the remainder of the season, stating that he has been an important player of the team.

“As a team, we are deeply saddened by Haris Rauf’s injury. It was painful to see him missing out as he’s been a pillar of strength for us, and his absence will be felt. In the face of adversity, we stand united, and I have full confidence that the team will rise to the occasion,” Shaheen said on Rauf’s injury.
