Australian pacer Mitchel Johnson has pulled himself out from the upcoming edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL).
Geo News citing its sources said Johnson, who was picked by Karachi Kings, has informed the PSL management of his unavailability.
“Mitchel has informed the PSL that he needs some rest before the much attractive and lucrative Indian Premier League,” said one source.
The Australian fast bowler, who was in the platinum category of players for the PSL was picked by Karachi Kings after demoting to the Diamond category for the third season.
Sources believe that Mitchell Johnson was unhappy over being demoted from the platinum category to the diamond category of players.
“This can be one understandable reason that he wasn’t happy about his category. He might have come if he was in platinum,” said a source.
