For the relevant reason, Naseem has been advised rest at least for one week and will be missing the games of PSL 2020 meanwhile. However, Gladiators will surely look for a better alternative that can fulfill Naseem’s place in the squad.

It is to be noted that Gladiators other two bowlers, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf have already sustained injuries before. Lesser the pace, more the problems for Gladiators as Naseem too is to miss the matches ahead for a week.
