Star opener Vince is set to miss at least the next three fixtures of the Kings due to his national duty. He is supposed to join the PSL again following the conclusion of the England tour of Bangladesh on March 14.
The right-hander had been a mainstay of the Karachi Kings’ batting lineup in the tournament. He scored a quickfire fifty from just 20 balls in the first of the two clashes against Multan Sultans last week.
It is pertinent to mention here that the 2020 PSL champions Kings will play Babar Azam-led Peshawar Zalmi in their next encounter in Rawalpindi on March 1.
