Bangladesh star wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das came to Pakistan with high hopes for his first PSL game, but those hopes were dashed before he even got on the field.  The new player for the Karachi Kings will not be able to play in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 because of a hairline fracture in his finger.

Litton was told by the medical team to go home to rest and heal just hours before Karachi's first game against Multan Sultans.  Team sources say that the injury needs to be completely rested for at least two weeks to keep it from getting worse.  Litton is on his way back to Bangladesh, where he will likely miss the rest of the season.

Litton's PSL trip ends quickly before it even starts, even though the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) gave him full permission to skip the upcoming Test series against Zimbabwe.  Karachi Kings already have Tim Seifert from New Zealand as their first-choice wicketkeeper, so it's not clear if they will look for someone to replace him.

Insiders of the franchise had mostly seen Litton as a backup choice, but his injury has brought the team's depth issues to the forefront right before their tournament start.

On April 12, at 9 p.m. Bangladesh time, the Karachi Kings play their first PSL 10 game against the Multan Sultans.  Fans couldn't wait to see Litton play in his first PSL game, but they'll have to wait another season.
