Punjab Kings IPL 2023: Only a few days are left for the 16th season of IPL to begin. Earlier, the lethal opener batsman of the team has been out of the team for the entire season. Please tell that the veteran player of the team, Johnny Bairstow will not be able to play this season. He will not take the field due to injury. Punjab Kings have included Australian player Matt Short in the team in place of Bairstow. Punjab Kings have given information about this by sharing the video on Twitter.
Punjab Kings themselves have given this information to the cricket fans through their official Twitter account. PBKS wrote that we are sorry to inform you that Johnny Bairstow will not be a part of IPL this season due to his injury. We wish him all the best and look forward to seeing him next season. We are delighted to welcome Matthew Short in his place. Let us tell you that the first match of Punjab Kings is with Kolkata Knight Riders. This match is to be played in Mohali on 1st April.
Johnny Bairstow’s exit is a big blow for Punjab
Jonny Bairstow’s exit from the IPL is a big blow for the Punjab Kings, as this English opener batsman has the knack of changing matches for the team with his bat alone. However, it is a matter of relief for Punjab that Liam Livingstone will be available for the entire season in IPL 2023. Apart from this, talking about Matthew Short, this right-handed all-rounder from Australia is a top-order batsman. Matthew Short has been a part of the Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League. Matthew Short can benefit Punjab Kings with both batting and bowling.
