Any update on replacement, if any, will be communicated in due course.

De Villiers said: I am very disappointed that I will not be able to play in front of the passionate Pakistani cricket fans.

I saw my doctor who has advised complete rest for two weeks and, unfortunately, that rules me out of the games in Karachi.

I hope to be a part of the HBL PSL next year and very much hope to play my part in the return of international cricket to the country.

I am backing Lahore Qalandars to go all the way and win the trophy this year.
