Markram will replace Dawid Malan who is taking some time off to be with his family before the T20 World Cup and the Ashes Series,” Punjab Kings said in a statement.

Malan, who played his inaugural edition of IPL this season was bought by the PKBS for INR 1.5 cr during the auction. In the first leg, however, the explosive batsman played just one match for the team where he scored 26 runs.
