Jones further detailed their strategic moves: “We aimed to strengthen our bowling by acquiring the best overseas seamer, Tymal Mills, and securing Jordan Cox, a wicketkeeper-batter from the Platinum category, cementing our team composition.”

In a pivotal decision, Islamabad United acquired Pakistani fast bowler Naseem Shah from Quetta Gladiators, augmenting their bowling options.

Renowned for their formidable batting lineup, Islamabad United boasts seasoned players like Alex Hales and Colin Munro, pivotal in fortifying their batting strength in previous PSL seasons. The recent draft selections indicate a clear focus on addressing bowling concerns, promising a more balanced team setup for the forthcoming season.
