England’s James Vince will not be available to dominate his Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise, Multan Sultans (MS), as he has been tested positive for the COVID-19. It is another straight hit to Sultans as they first miss out on Mahmudullah who was chosen as Moin Ali’s replacement. The back-to-back hits to them missing on the legendary players must be troubling for them as they are to face Karachi Kings (KK) in the Qualifier round.
Vince is the second cricketer of Sultans to test positive for COVID-19 and refraining from the T20 league. According to the reports, he diagnosed the results just before his flight to Pakistan. However, the table-toppers are yet to reveal their replacements.
