Islamabad United all-rounder Faheem Ashraf is likely to miss the upcoming matches of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) season six, after sustaining a split webbing in his left hand during the franchise’s fifth game of the season against Lahore Qalandars on Wednesday.

According to a press release issued by the two-time champions, Faheem had already bowled his first two overs when he suffered the injury, and he immediately left the field. The all-rounder had suffered a split between his thumb and index finger and five stitches have been applied to the deep cut.

“Faheem suffered a laceration to the base of the left thumb. Suturing was completed in the ER, he was given antibiotics and paracetamol, and discharged into our care,” Islamabad United Physio, Jason Pilgrim, said.  

It must be noted that Lahore Qalandars defeated United by five wickets in Abu Dhabi, yesterday.
