Injured Ferguson likely to miss remainder of IPL
- Published
New Zealand fast bowler Lockie Ferguson is likely to miss the remainder of the Indian Premier League season because of an injury.
Ferguson, 33, left the field clutching his leg during his first over in Punjab Kings' defeat by Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday.
He has taken five wickets in four matches for the Kings this season.
"Ferguson is out indefinitely and the chances of us getting him back by the end of the tournament are very slim, I would have thought," Kings' bowling coach James Hopes said.
"I think he has sustained a pretty serious injury."
Ferguson missed the Champions Trophy in February and March because of a foot injury.
Prior to that the quick struggled with a hamstring injury.
Elsewhere, Chennai Super Kings have signed 17-year-old batter Ayush Mhatre, who has not played a professional T20, as an injury replacement for injured captain Ruturaj Gaikwad.
Sunrisers Hyderabad have replaced Australia leg-spinner Adam Zampa with left-handed batter Smaran Ravichandran, after announcing Zampa was ruled out with an unspecified injury.
