Jamaican  T/20  batting  star  Andre  Russell  has  been  ruled  out  of  the   remainder of the Pakistan Super League   season with a hamstring injury.

Russell, who plays for Islamabad United, pulled his right hamstring during his side’s eight-wicket win on Sunday   which   consigned Karachi Kings to their first loss of the season…………….. Russell did not bowl and was not required to bat either.

This is Russell’s first tournament after his return from a year-long ban for a doping violation that ended in January.

Russell has already played an important role in this year’s tournament, taking four wickets at 22.25.

He was also responsible for his side’s victory against Lahore Qalandars in the game of the tournament so far, smashing a last-ball six in the super over to seal the win.

His injury will also leave his IPL Franchise the Kolkata Knight Riders who chose to retain him ahead of the 2018 season, anxious.
