Defending champions Lahore Qalandars have been dealt a significant setback in their Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11 campaign, with Bangladesh top-order batter Parvez Hossain Emon ruled out of the remainder of the tournament due to a shoulder injury.
Emon sustained the injury during Qalandars’ clash against Multan Sultans at the Gaddafi Stadium on April 3, following an on-field collision with teammate Asif Ali.
Subsequent MRI scans revealed a ligament tear, forcing the medical staff to recommend a period of rest and rehabilitation.
As a precaution, the left-handed batter had already missed the April 9 fixture against Islamabad United to avoid aggravating the injury.
After further assessment, the franchise has now decided to release him from the squad, with a replacement expected to be announced soon.
In an official statement, the Qalandars confirmed that Parvez Hossain Emon would depart following their match against Peshawar Zalmi today, while extending their full support during his recovery process.
Despite his brief stint, Emon made a notable impact at the top of the order. He featured in three matches, scoring 71 runs at an impressive strike rate of 161.36, including a fluent 45-run knock against Multan Sultans that highlighted his attacking intent.
