The Karachi Kings have been dealt a heavy blow as Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene have refused to travel to Lahore for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) final despite offered lucrative financial deals by the organisers of the competition.
The duo were on the bus, along with their Sri Lanka national team colleagues, that was attacked en route from their hotel to a Test match against Pakistan at the Qaddafi Stadium in Lahore in 2009.
The final of the second season of the PSL is scheduled to take place at the same ground, almost exactly eight years to the day since the incident which led Pakistan into international cricket exile.
Team-mate Chris Gayle is another big name to have pulled out citing the country’s volatile security conditions.
