Fast bowler Haris Rauf, a key player for the Lahore Qalandars and a rising star in Pakistani cricket, has been ruled out of the remaining matches in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 due to a shoulder injury.
The unfortunate incident occurred during the Qalandars’ match against Karachi Kings on Saturday, February 24th. Rauf dislocated his shoulder while taking a catch on the second-last ball of the match, leading to a two-wicket defeat for his team.
Following scans and assessments, doctors advised Rauf to rest for four to six weeks for proper recovery, effectively ending his participation in the ongoing PSL season. This is a significant blow for both the Qalandars, who are the defending champions but currently struggling, and for Pakistani cricket as a whole.
Rauf has been a crucial part of the Qalandars’ success in recent years, known for his fiery pace and wicket-taking abilities. His absence will be a major challenge for the team as they strive to turn their fortunes around in the remaining matches.
This latest injury adds to a string of setbacks for Rauf, who also faced injury concerns during the Asia Cup 2023 and the ODI World Cup 2023. However, he remains a talented and promising young bowler, and his fans will be hoping for a speedy recovery and his return to action soon.
Rauf’s injury is a dislocated shoulder, requiring 4-6 weeks of recovery.
He has been a key player for both the Lahore Qalandars and the Pakistani national team.
The Qalandars are currently struggling in the PSL 2024, and Rauf’s absence will be a major challenge.
