The Gulf Giants announced on Saturday that West Indies star Carlos Braithwaite will replace England’s right-arm fast bowler Jamie Overton in the DP World ILT20.
The English pacer will miss out on the entire tournament following a lumbar stress fracture.
Despite the injury of Overton, the arrival of Braithwaite means the giants are reinforced with a power hitter that can be deployed anywhere in the batting order.
“It’s unfortunate he won’t be part of the tournament given the nature of his injury. I wish him a speedy recovery," Gulf Giants coach Andy Flower said.
"Meanwhile, I am happy that we are getting Carlos on board. He is a young dynamic player who will strengthen our squad.”
