The Punjab Kings bowler limped off the field after bowling just two balls in the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, although details about his injury have not been given.
Ahead of the clash against KKR, PBKS bowling coach James Hopes stated, “Ferguson is out indefinitely, I think, and us getting him back by the end of the tournament is a very low percentage. I think he’s done a real decent injury to himself.”
Lockie Ferguson left the field after he bowled just two balls in the clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Though the extent of his injury is not known, he was seen using his hand to support his left thigh when leaving the field.
Ferguson has taken five wickets in four matches for PBKS, and him being ruled out will be a great shock for the Shreyas Iyer -led side.
Punjab Kings also have some other options to replace Lockie Ferguson, including Australian fast bowler Xavier Bartlett. Afghanistan all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai is also included in the team.
Ferguson also missed the Champions Trophy for New Zealand due to a hamstring injury while playing in the ILT20 earlier this year. He had earlier suffered a calf injury in late 2024.
