Apart from him, Australia all-rounder Jhye Richardson will also be missing the entire season after he suffered a hamstring injury.

Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan left everyone in splits recently by recreating Yuzvendra Chahal's unique pose by casually lying on the ground after taking a catch during the ongoing LLC Masters in Doha. With Indian Maharajas looking dominant against Asia Lions, Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan ended up miscuing a shot off the bowling of Stuart Binni.
