Liton returns home from PSL after injury

Bangladesh wicket-keeper batter Liton Das's Pakistan Super League (PSL) mission is over before it began after suffering a finger injury.
The batter will soon return home to start his rehabilitation.

"I was truly excited to play in the PSL for Karachi Kings, but the Almighty had other plans," Liton Das wrote in his social media platform. "During a practice session, I sustained a finger injury. Scans revealed a hairline fracture, and recovery will take at least two weeks."

"So sadly, my PSL mission is over before it even began. I'm flying back to Bangladesh and seeking your prayers and love for a quick recovery."
"Wishing the very best of luck to my team, Karachi Kings." Liton was granted a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the entire PSL season, which caused him to miss the two-match Test series against Zimbabwe.

Rishad Hossain and Nahid Rana are the other Bangladeshi players participating in the PSL this season. Australian wicketkeeper-batter Ben McDermott has been brought in as a replacement for Litton at Karachi Kings. Meanwhile, Multan Sultans have launched a charitable initiative, pledging to donate Rs 100,000 to the Palestine Children Relief Fund for every six and wicket they achieve in the ongoing tenth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Ali Tareen, the owner of Multan Sultans, stated that the decision was made to show solidarity with the children of Palestine, amid the ongoing crisis.
"At Multan Sultans, we believe in utilising our platform for meaningful purposes," Tareen said in a statement. "With every six and every wicket, we will donate Rs 100,000 to support the children of Palestine."

While the Sultans remain focused on delivering strong performances on the field, Tareen emphasised the importance of standing in solidarity with those in need. "Our attention is on strong performances on the field, but we are equally committed to standing with children in need. This is a small measure in a larger effort, and we are proud to start it here," he added.

Team captain Mohammad Rizwan also expressed his support for the initiative, confirming that the Sultans would be contributing to the Palestine Children Relief Fund with every six and wicket. The initiative aims to provide much-needed support to the children affected by the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
