Rumman Raees has been ruled out of the remainder Pakistan Super League 2018, it was confirmed on Tuesday (March 13). The Islamabad United pacer suffered a knee injury in the clash against Quetta Gladiators in Sharjah last month and hasn't played since.

They play Multan Sultans on Tuesday before taking on Quetta Gladiators and Karachi Kings in their last two league games on March 15 and 16 respectively.
