ISLAMABAD: Karachi Kings included leg-spinner Zahid Mehmood in their HBL PSL 9 squad as a full replacement for wicketkeeper batter Saad Baig.
Baig suffered a groin strain and has been advised to go through rehab by the medical panel.
The rehabilitation process of the young wicketkeeper has been started, owing to the medical panel’s advice that without complete rehab, there is a risk of this injury getting worse.
Saad Baig will remain with the Karachi Kings squad and continue his rehab process.
Meanwhile, Zahid Mehmood, who was included in Karachi Kings’ squad for the HBL PSL 9 as a partial replacement initially, will now replace Baig in the squad for the complete season.
Mehmood has played two games for Karachi Kings and picked two wickets in the ongoing season.
