Srinagar: Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf has suffered injury and has been ruled out of the remainder of the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 season.
Rauf suffered a Grade 1 hamstring injury during San Francisco Unicorns’ recent win over the Texas Super Kings. The franchise confirmed the news on social media and also announced Rauf’s replacement for the remainder of the tournament.
“We’re with you, Haris. The San Francisco Unicorns can confirm Haris Rauf will miss the remainder of #MLC2025 with a hamstring injury, with New Zealand pace bowler Ben Lister to replace him, effective immediately,” the franchise team tweeted.
Rauf, who currently tops the MLC 2025 wicket charts with 17 scalps in eight matches at an economy rate of 9.08, was a key performer for the Unicorns.
Meanwhile, the pacer is also expected to miss Pakistan’s upcoming T20I series against the Bengal Tigers later this month.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has yet to issue a statement regarding the 31-year-old’s injury status or the expected duration of his rehabilitation.
