Faf du Plessis, the former South African captain who suffered a concussion during a Pakistan Super League encounter here, was ruled out of the T20 tournament's remaining matches on Wednesday.
Du Plessis sustained a concussion after colliding with Quetta Gladiators teammate Mohammad Hasnain while attempting to preserve a boundary during their PSL encounter against Peshawar Zalmi on Sunday.
Taking to Twitter, the franchise posted: "Gladiator @faf1307 will not be able to take further part in @thePSLt20 after a nasty collision earlier in the tournament. The star batsman will be flying back to South Africa. We wish the legend all the best & hope he gets back on the field soon."
However, the former South Africa skipper on Sunday had provided an update on his health after he injured himself while playing for Quetta Gladiators in the PSL.
"Thank you everyone for all the messages of support. I'm back at the hotel recovering. Have concussion with some memory loss but I will be fine. Hopefully be back on the field soon. Much love," tweeted du Plessis.
Du Plessis was playing his second game of the PSL upon its resumption. He had scored 5 against Islamabad United as the Gladiators lost the match by 10 wickets.
