Owen replaces IPL-bound Bosch at Peshawar Zalmi

Australia all-rounder Mitchell Owen has been signed by Pakistan Super League (PSL) side Peshawar Zalmi as a replacement for South Africa's Corbin Bosch.

Owen, 23, hit the joint-fastest Big Bash century off 39 balls in January as Hobart Hurricanes won their inaugural title.

The opener made 452 runs to finish as the tournament's top scorer.

Bosch has pulled out of the tournament and signed as an injury replacement for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League and reports say the Pakistan Cricket Board have served the 30-year-old with a legal notice to explain the switch.

The two competitions are overlapping for the first time after the PSL was pushed back due to Pakistan hosting the ICC Champions Trophy.

The PSL starts on 11 April and runs until 18 May.
