English batter James Vince has left Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 8 due to his national commitment.
Vince was scheduled to play only Karachi leg of the PSL 8. He featured in the last game that was played in Karachi this season between Karachi Kings and Multan Sultans.
The right-handed opener scored 174 runs in five matches he played in the tournament. His handsome strike rate of 175.75 made him the center of attraction during Kings' matches.
He was named in England's ODI squad against Bangladesh. The two countries will play three ODIs on March 1, 3, and 6 in Bangladesh.
Vince will be replaced by another English cricketer Adam Rossington. Adam, who represents Northamptonshire County Cricket Club, will join Kings' squad in Rawalpindi tomorrow.
Taking to Twitter, Kings wished Vince all the best for his national duty.
"Wishing good luck to Vince as he heads off to join the England team for their international assignment. You'll be missed on the pitch but we know you'll do us proud. All the best Vincey,"the franchise wrote.
After finishing Karachi leg on a winning note by defeating table-toppers Multan Sultans last Sunday, Kings will now head to Rawalpindi to resume their Punjab leg of the tournament.
They will take on Peshawar Zalmi in their seventh match at Pindi Cricket Stadium. After their latest victory, Kings held fourth position on the points table with four points in six matches.
In their previous meeting in Karachi, Kings were beaten by Zalmi with a close margin of just two runs. Babar Azam XI and Imad Wasim's team will meet once against in the tournament.
