Islamabad United selected Rassie van der Dussen in the Supplementary category for the PSL 10, however he was unable to join the team for personal reasons, therefore Kyle Mayers of the West Indies took his place.

He will now play for the United in the final Pakistan Super League games of the 10th edition. It is important to note that the South African batter has participated in both PSL seasons.

He played for Lahore Qalandars in 2024 after making his debut for Islamabad United in 2023. The PSL 10 will return on the 17th of May following a temporary halt brought on by the growing conflict among India and Pakistan.

The match against Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium will mark the tournament’s return, according to the updated schedule.

Alex Hales, a previous batter for England, had already returned to the United team for the rest of the competition.

Hales stated he was “absolutely thrilled to be back in Pakistan playing in Red” in a statement released by the team. ” I’m hoping I can assist the squad attempt for another championship”.
