KARACHI: Ireland’s Curtis Campher swapped West Indies’ Gudakesh Motie in Multan Sultans’ squad for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10, the permit announced on Monday.
Though the franchise did not disclose the reason behind the development, several media reports demanded that Motie absent for Guyana due to a personal matter and was so substituted by Campher.
“New name on the list! Welcome to the Sultans squad, Curtis Campher,” the Sultans proclaimed on social media by sharing an enthusiastic poster of the Irish all-rounder.
Fast-bowling all-rounder Campher, who has signified Ireland in seven Tests, 43 ODIs and 61 T20Is, claims a bleak experience of playing franchise cricket as he only contained in Bangladesh Leading League (BPL) twice.
In his dual spells with Chattogram Challengers, Campher scored 128 runs in nine runs at an uncertain average of 18.28.
He also took nine wickets in 10 innings at an average of 27.77 and the best bowling records of 4/20.
For the unexperienced, Sultans, who have featured in four successive PSL finals, including their title victory in 2021, had a vague start to the ongoing season as they are presently at the lowest of the standings after fading to win any of their three matches thus far.
They next face two-time champions Lahore Qalandars at home on Tuesday.
Multan Sultans squad for PSL 10:ย Mohammad Rizwan, Usama Mir and Michael Bracewell (all platinum), David Willey, Iftikhar Ahmed and Usman Khan (all diamond), Chris Jordan, Kamran Ghulam and Mohammad Hasnain (all gold), Faisal Akram, Akif Javed, Gudakesh Motie, Josh Little and Tayyab Tahir (all silver), Shahid Aziz and Ubaid Shah (both emerging), Muhammad Amir Barki, Ashton Turner and Yasir Khan (all supplementary).
