In a significant blow to their bowling attack, Karachi Kings have confirmed that New Zealand fast bowler Adam Milne will be leaving the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 due to injury. The franchise took to Instagram to share the disappointing news with fans, posting an emotional farewell message.
Injury Cuts Short Milne’s PSL Campaign
The Instagram post featured a picture of Milne in action wearing the blue Karachi Kings jersey, along with the caption: “Tough to say goodbye, Milne! You’ll be missed! Get well soon, champ ❤️💙 #YehHaiKarachi | #KingsSquad | #KarachiKings.”
While the specific nature of Milne’s injury hasn’t been disclosed, the post confirms that the Kiwi pacer’s departure is health-related, with the team wishing him a speedy recovery.
Impact On Karachi Kings’ Campaign
Milne’s exit comes at a crucial time for Karachi Kings, who have been showing promising form in recent matches. The team recently posted about their “dominant display by bowlers” in their match against Quetta Gladiators, highlighting the importance of their bowling unit.
The New Zealand international is known for his express pace, regularly clocking speeds above 145 kph, and his absence will leave a significant gap in the Kings’ bowling arsenal. His ability to take wickets in the powerplay and death overs has been particularly valuable for the franchise.
Kings’ Recent Form And Squad Strength
Despite this setback, Karachi Kings have been building momentum in the tournament. Recent social media posts from the team showcase their bowling strength, with players like Mir Hamza delivering impressive performances including a double wicket maiden that the team described as “beautiful work.”
The team has also been celebrating the contributions of other players, including newcomer Fawad Ali, whose debut wicket was highlighted in a recent post with the caption: “That debut wicket feeling. Many more to come for Fawad Ali!”
The arrival of New Zealand captain Kane Williamson has further boosted the squad, with the team posting about his immediate integration into training: “Arrived and straight to the grind. Classic Kane Williamson energy.”
Looking Ahead: Kings Without Milne
With Milne’s departure, Karachi Kings will need to reorganize their bowling attack for the remainder of the tournament. The team’s posts highlighting the performances of Abbas Afridi (“Pace. Power. Pookie Ft. Abbas Afridi 🔥🎀”) suggests they have other pace options to fill the gap.
The Kings will also be looking to their international stars like Williamson and Tim Seifert, who was recently featured in a post with the caption “All of us to Tim Seifert 🫂,” indicating his popularity within the team or a notable performance.
The franchise’s recent post featuring celebrations described as “Roars, celebrations and unstoppable energy! This is Karachi Kings – dream team” suggests the team spirit remains high despite Milne’s unfortunate departure.
Fans will now be watching closely to see how the Kings adapt their strategy without one of their key international pacers as they push for a playoff spot in this season’s PSL.
For Milne, the focus now shifts to recovery, with the Kiwi likely aiming to return to full fitness for upcoming international commitments with New Zealand.
