Reasons Sherfane Rutherford didn’t participate in Islamabad vs Quetta Eliminator 1. Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram explained why Quetta Gladiators didn’t play West Indies hitter Sherfane Rutherford in Eliminator 1 against Islamabad United. He departed midway and rejoined before Gladiators lost Eliminator 1 against United by 39 runs, eliminating him from the competition.
Reason
Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram said Gladiators head coach Shane Watson excluded Rutherford. The former Australian had instructed the squad that no one would leave midway for whatever reason.
Watson previously stated that no one would leave the middle and that if they returned, he wouldn’t induct. Watson performed what Pakistanis can’t imagine and did correctly “Wasim stated on a local sports programme. Former batter Hafeez said: “He set the right example but management did the wrong thing to call him back.”
Second Eliminator
United will play Babar Azam’s Peshawar Zalmi in the second Eliminator tonight after the win. United won the toss and bowled first. Zalmi modified three things whereas Shadab Khan’s troops didn’t.
