  • Tymal Mills replaces his England compatriot Chris Jordan.

    Lendl Simmons and Tymal Mills have been added to the Peshawar Zalmi squad for the remainder of the 2019 Pakistan Super League (PSL) season.

    The two players have been roped in as replacements for Dawid Malan and Chris Jordan who have both been called up to the England T20I squad for the upcoming series against the West Indies.

    Sussex pacer Mills will take Jordan’s place in the squad while West Indies batsman Simmons replaces Malan.

    Both the replacement players will arrive in Dubai on Wednesday and should be available for Peshawar Zalmi’s clash against Multan Sultans which takes place on Thursday.

    Peshawar are currently in second position in the 2019 PSL table with three wins and two losses from their five games so far.

    Simmons and Mills are not the only replacements being made by PSL franchises with defending champions Islamabad United turning to West Indies wicketkeeper batsman Chadwick Walton to replace the injured Ian Bell.

    Meanwhile, Quetta Gladiators have called up Netherland’s Ryan ten Doeschate as a cover with the all-rounder set to join up with the squad at Dubai on Wednesday.

    Multan Sultans too have lost one of their star players to international duty with all-rounder Andre Russell departing to join the West Indies squad for the fourth and fifth ODIs against England.

    The Multan franchise are yet to announce any replacement for Russell as of now.
