New Zealand’s Ex-batsman Luke Ronchi will not participate in this year’s Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 6 due to his national commitments.

The Islamabad United star batsman confirmed the news on Twitter. Ronchi said he will not be available for the franchise this season due to his role as New Zealand’s batting coach.

He further said,

“I would have definitely been part of Islamabad United had I not been occupied as NZ’s batting coach. I will be supporting my beloved #ISLU in Pakistan Super League and I hope to be back in the future. #RedForever #UnitedWeWin.”
