He will undergo surgery later this week and will miss the rest of the BBL, the franchise stated in a release.Tournament regulations state that Arafat cannot be replaced by another overseas player as he was already a replacement for the West Indies batsman Dwayne Smith, their original international signing.Arafat is the Scorchers’ leading wicket-taker this season with 12 wickets in six games with a best of 4 for 24. He starred in the match against Sydney Sixers, taking 2 for 1 in the One-Over Eliminator to hand his side the victory.
