This will be his first time playing in the PSL.
Former Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) player Ashton Turner has been named as the injury replacement for Johnson Charles by Multan Sultans (MUL) in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025.
Turner was part of the LSG squad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, but he only got to play in two matches. This will be his first time playing in the PSL.
The Australian batter has been picked because of his wide experience in T20 leagues across the world. He recently scored 240 runs in the latest Big Bash League (BBL) while playing for Perth Scorchers, with an impressive strike rate of 147.
He was also a key player in helping the Scorchers win their first BBL title in 2022, where he scored 357 runs at a strike rate of around 154. Turner has played a total of 214 T20 matches so far. He has scored 3,428 runs at a strike rate of 141.47, including 16 half-centuries.
If the Australian gets a chance to play for Multan Sultans, he will most likely bat in the middle order, which is his natural position.
Meanwhile, Johnson Charles is currently recovering from an injury and is under the care of Cricket West Indies (CWI).
