PSL 8: Rossington replaces James Vince in Karachi Kings’ squad

ISLAMABAD: English wicket-keeper batter Adam Rossington arrived in Islamabad on Tuesday and joined the Karachi Kings squad as a partial replacement for his compatriot James Vince in the ongoing Pakistan Super League season 8. 

Rossington filled the void left by Vince who headed off to join the England team for its upcoming white-ball tour of Bangladesh on Monday.

Taking to Twitter, Karachi Kings announced the arrival of the wicket-keeper batter in the capital city where the team has been staying for its Rawalpindi fixtures.

Star opener Vince is set to miss at least the next three fixtures of the Kings due to his national duty. He is supposed to join the PSL again following the conclusion of the England tour of Bangladesh on March 14.

The right-hander had been a mainstay of the Karachi Kings’ batting lineup in the tournament. He scored a quickfire fifty from just 20 balls in the first of the two clashes against Multan Sultans last week.

It is pertinent to mention here that the 2020 PSL champions Kings will play Babar Azam-led Peshawar Zalmi in their next encounter in Rawalpindi on March 1.
