IPL 2023 LIVE: In a big setback for Gujarat Titans, Josh Little has suffered an injury scare. The Ireland pacer has been ruled out of the ongoing Pakistan Super League 2023 (PSL 2023) and is now doubtful for at least some matches in IPL for Hardik Pandya-led side. The left-arm quick has returned to Ireland for treatment. The defending champions GT signed Little for INR 4.4 crore at December’s IPL auction. Follow IPL and PSL LIVE updates with InsideSport.IN
In December last year, GT made Little the first active Irish player to get purchased in the Indian Premier League 2023.
Little, 23, was scheduled to participate in PSL for Multan Sultans. While playing for Pretoria Caps in the SA20, he complained of hamstring tightness. And according to Cricket Ireland, he returned home “out of an abundance of caution.”

Josh made his debut for Ireland in an international match in 2016, and since then, he has featured in 25 ODIs and 53 T20Is.
He made international headlines in May 2019 in Dublin against England. He took 4-45 in a devastating period of pace bowling that saw him dismiss three of the top four batters, including the captain at the time, Eoin Morgan, for a duck.
