Scans revealed a hairline fracture, and recovery will take at least 2 weeks," Liton wrote on his official Facebook page today. He suffered the injury in Karachi's practice session on Thursday.
"So sadly, my PSL mission is over before it even began. I'm flying back to Bangladesh and seeking your prayers & love for a quick recovery. Wishing the very best of luck to my team Karachi Kings,"he added.
