South African veteran batsman Faf du Plessis has been ruled out of the first three games for Northern Superchargers in the recent Hundred tournament in UK. This will be a big blow considering the experience of the South African and he is also an excellent player in limited overs cricket.

Du Plessis was expected to lead the side in the first game, but instead England all rounder Ben Stokes stepped in for the leadership in the first game for Northern Superchargers. The right hander had gone through concussion in the Pakistan Super League match for Quetta Gladiators while fielding as he collided with his team mate Mohammad Hasnain.
