In the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) 9, Islamabad United has successfully filled its fast-bowling lineup with the acquisition of Naseem Shah.
The talented pacer, previously with Quetta Gladiators, is set to bring his fiery pace and wicket-taking prowess to the capital city franchise.
The exchange deal, finalized between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators, involved the departure of two players from Islamabad's squad.

The emerging talents, Mohammad Wasim Jr. and Abrar Ahmed, bid farewell to Islamabad United, making their way to Quetta Gladiators.
The move signifies a strategic reshuffle for both franchises, with Islamabad United parting ways with Wasim Jr. and Ahmed to welcome the promising Naseem Shah.
The young fast bowler has already made a mark in international cricket, and his inclusion is expected to add a dynamic edge to Islamabad United's bowling attack.
On the flip side, Quetta Gladiators gain the services of Mohammad Wasim Jr. and Abrar Ahmed, two promising players who will now don the Gladiators' colours and aim to make a significant impact in the tournament.
