    IPL: KKR to sign USA's Ali Khan as Gurney's replacement
  • Kolkata Knight Riders are all set to sign USA's 29-year-old fast bowler Ali Khan as a replacement for English seamer Harry Gurney.

    Reportedly, Gurney is scheduled to have surgery related to a shoulder injury, and has therefore pulled out of the upcoming Indian Premier League season.

    Notably, Khan will become the first ever American to feature in India's cash-rich league.
