“IPL done for another year, had to get my knee sorted for the upcoming World Cup,” Livingstone wrote on Instagram. “Thanks once again to the Punjab Kings fans for all their love and support. Disappointing season as a team and personally, but as always I loved every minute of playing in the IPL”

With the Kings now eliminated from the tournament, with four wins and eight defeats from their first 12 games, Livingstone has returned home. ESPNcricinfo understands that his knee injury is not serious enough to place his prospects of travelling to the T20 World Cup in doubt but requires a period of rest before England play Pakistan in four T20Is later this month.
Livingstone struggled to make an impact for the Kings in what he described as a “disappointing” campaign. He made 111 runs at 22.20 in seven innings, striking at 142.30, and took three wickets in 12 overs. It extends a lean winter for him in franchise cricket after a quiet SA20 season with MI Cape Town and a two-match stint with Sharjah Warriors.
