Chandigarh, March 27

Punjab Kings have signed Australian cricketer Matthew Short as a replacement for England’s Jonny Bairstow for the upcoming Indian Premier League 2023. Bairstow failed to recover from an injury sustained in 2022.

Trevor Bayliss, Head Coach of Punjab Kings, said, “Unfortunately, Bairstow won’t be with us this campaign. He didn’t recover from injury. We wish him a speedy recovery. Matthew Short, who is the Big Bash player of the season in Australia this year, will be joining us for this IPL.”

Punjab Kings are scheduled to open their IPL campaign by taking on Kolkata Knight Riders at the IS Bindra PCA Stadium, Mohali, on April 1.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
