In a major setback to Karachi Kings, 13 players of the team got food poisoning, sources close to the team told Geo News on Thursday.
One of the players was also moved to a local hospital after his condition worsened, sources revealed.
“The players didn’t get ill after ordering food from outside the hotel since that was not allowed,” a source close to the team added.
However, Karachi’s team management is hopeful that they will be able to field a team for today’s match against Quetta Gladiators at the National Bank Stadium.
Daniel Sams and James Vince also didn’t feature in Karachi’s last match due to the same reason.
Last night, Islamabad United bagged their second victory of PSL 9 after they won against Karachi Kings by seven wickets at National Bank Stadium.
On the back of a quick half-century by player of the match, Colin Munro, Islamabad successfully chased the target of 166 to edge over the home team in the first game of the Karachi leg of PSL 9.
