Big Blow For Punjab Kings! Star All-Rounder To Miss IPL 2023 opener against Kolkata Knight Riders
England's power-hitter Liam Livingstone will miss the opening game for Punjab Kings in the IPL as he is yet to get a fitness clearance from the ECB after recovering from a knee injury he suffered in December. Punjab Kings open their IPL campaign against KKR at home on April 1. Livingstone, who is a key member of the Punjab Kings squad for his all-round abilities, has not played competitive cricket since picking up the knee injury on his Test debut in Pakistan in December. The 29-year-old had also suffered an ankle injury during the Hundred competition at home last year.
