Imad was quickly taken off the field and the most senior player in the team, Shahid Afridi, captained the side during the latter stages of the match against Lahore Qalandars. Kings confirmed that Imad was fine and would be kept in the hospital overnight. “Alhumdulilah he is strong and doing well… all our prayers for the #skipper,” said the franchise owner Salman Iqbal.
On the other hand, Morgan has just flew into Dubai after the New Zealand tour to participate in the PSL 2018. He is expected to lead the side in the match against Peshawar Zalmi on March 15.
