Story highlights
Punjab Kings purchased Liam Livingstone for a whopping 11.5 crores (1.15m approx.) at the 2022 mega auction and that paid dividends as he was among the star performers for the team scoring 437 runs with a strike rate of 182.08 and picking up six wickets.
Owing to getting medical clearance from the ECB, injured England all-rounder Liam Livingstone is set to join his IPL franchise, Punjab Kings, as early as April 10th. Liam, who was supposed to join the Punjab squad ahead of IPL 2023, missed the two games played due to the flare-up of the ankle injury he sustained during the Hundred last year.
Besides, the hard-hitting batter suffered a knee injury during his maiden Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi four nearly months back and has missed competitive cricket since. As per the latest report in ESPNcricinfo, Liam said he is feeling better, and by the end of this week, he will fly to India and get going in the IPL. If he joins the PBKS squad by April 10th, he could come in contention for April 13th home game against Gujarat Titans.
