Mohali, Mar 12 (PTI) Kings XI Punjab batsman Mahela Jayawardene was not worried over the injury problems on the eve of their Indian Premier League campaign-opener against Delhi Daredevils and said they have enough quality players to fill the void. Jayawardene said that stylish left-hand batsman Yuvraj Singh and all-rounder Yousuf Pathan, who have some injury concerns, will be playing here tomorrow. "Last year also we had injury problems. In this season too, we have some injury concerns, but we should not focus too much on that. We have quality domestic players in the side, who add depth in our squad," Jayawardene said at a press conference here today. Jayawardene also said injured Australian paceman Brett Lee''s "progress was being assessed" and hoped he will play in the coming matches. Another first-choice of Punjab team, Shaun Marsh who was highly successful in the inaugural edition two years ago, also looks unlikely to be fit for the start. Asked about the previous editions, Jayawardene said it was "unfortunate that they had lost in the semifinals in IPL-I and ended up fifth in South Africa last year" as they had some injury concerns. .
