\n San Francisco
\nFast bowler Haris Rauf has been ruled out of the remainder of the 2025 Major League Cricket (MLC) season after suffering a Grade 1 hamstring injury during San Francisco Unicorns\u2019 recent match against the Texas Super Kings.
\nThe franchise confirmed his unavailability via social media and announced a replacement for the rest of the tournament.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re 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,\u201d the franchise team tweeted.
\nRauf, 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.
\nMeanwhile, the pacer is also expected to miss Pakistan\u2019s upcoming T20I series against the Bengal Tigers later this month.
\nThe Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has yet to issue a statement regarding the 31-year-old\u2019s injury status or the expected duration of his rehabilitation.
\nIt is pertinent to mention that the national team is scheduled to arrive in Bangladesh on July 16, with the three-match series starting on July 20 at the Shere-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
\nThe second and third T20Is are set to be played on July 22 and 24, respectively.
\nFollowing the Bangladesh tour, the Men in Green are scheduled to travel to the West Indies in August for a white-ball series comprising three ODIs and three T20Is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
