Morne Morkel ruled out of CLT20

AHMEDABAD:- South Africa fast bowler Morne Morkel will not be available to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for the upcoming Champions League T20 because of a shoulder injury. It is understood that Morkel has hurt his rotator cuff and wicketkeeper batsman Manvinder Bisla will be his replacement in the 15-man squad. Morkel is the third overseas player to become unavailable for KKR, the IPL champions, after Australian Chris Lynn was ruled out by shoulder surgery and Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan had his NOCs to play for the franchise cancelled by the BCB because of disciplinary issues.
