Islamabad United are in deep trouble with back-to-back injuries to key players. This time it was Hasan Ali who got injured after the toss between Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United.
Since the teams were confirmed, Islamabad United required approval from Qalandars’ captain to replace Hasan Ali, according to rule 1.2.1. Displaying the true spirit of game, Shaheen Shah Afridi permitted the replacement of Hasan Ali with Marchant de Lange.
Hassan Ali developed an injury after the toss and we had no choice but to replace him with another player.
We are deeply thankful to @iShaheenAfridi and the @lahoreqalandars for their #SpiritOfCricket and allowing us to play Marchant de Lange instead.#UnitedWeWin #HBLPSL7
