Are KKR’s woes never-ending? It seems like yes. One of their key players, Pathirana, is still awaiting clearance from Sri Lanka to join the team for IPL 2024.
The 25-year-old Sri Lankan pace bowler was picked up by Kolkata Knight Riders in the recent IPL auction. But despite being part of the squad, he has not been able to join his teammates due to some clearance issues.
Pathirana’s Uncertain Fate
The clearance issue seems to be a common problem for many international cricketers playing in the IPL. However, it’s a major concern for KKR as Pathirana was one of their most promising picks in the auction.
The team management is keeping a close eye on the situation and is hoping that Pathirana will get the clearance soon. But with the IPL season just around the corner, time is running out for him to join the team.
KKR has a strong squad this season, but the absence of Pathirana will definitely be felt. The team will have to rely on their other bowlers to fill the void left by the Sri Lankan pace bowler.
As the IPL season is just around the corner, fans are eagerly waiting to see Pathirana in action. Will he be able to join his team on time? Only time will tell.
