Multan Sultans fast bowler Olly Stone has been ruled out of the squad due to a groin injury on Friday after the player had just joined the squad before the Lahore Qalandars match.
Olly Stone played against Islamabad United in the second match where he bowled 3.4 overs and had to be escorted out of the field with the help of team physios forcing Khushdil Shah to complete the over for him.
The English right-arm fast bowler was picked as the replacement of Reece Topley who was ruled out of the squad due to injury and now he has suffered an injury as well which has ruled him out for the entire season. However, the Sultans are expected to apply for his replacement in due course.
