The two-time champions have chosen UAE batter Mohammad Waseem to replace Tom Curran. They had initially delayed deciding on a replacement for Tom Curran, who is not available for the entire season.
Waseem, a solid batter for UAE who has been performing consistently well, is currently in excellent form. His recent performances in various leagues have earned him a spot in PSL9.
Recently, United have brought in two exciting additional players: Obed McCoy, a fast bowler from the West Indies, in the supplementary draft, and Pakistan’s young batter Haider Ali.
United have always been considered one of the best teams in the PSL, and they’ve got a strong team for this upcoming season, featuring top players like Shadab Khan, Naseem Shah, Imad Wasim, Alex Hales, Colin Munro, and some new talents ready to make their debut.
The upcoming 9th edition of PSL is just 15 days away, with Islamabad United beginning their campaign against defending champions Lahore Qalandars in the opening match of the league at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on 17th February.
