Islamabad United have announced the inclusion of West Indian all-rounder Kyle Mayers as a replacement for Matt Short and Rassie van der Dussen, both of whom have been ruled out of the ongoing HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10.
Mayers is expected to join the squad ahead of Islamabad United’s sixth fixture in Lahore.
Rassie van der Dussen will not participate in this season’s HBL PSL due to personal reasons, with both parties mutually agreeing that he will sit out. Islamabad United expressed its full support for van der Dussen and his family during this challenging time.
“Rassie’s decision is completely understandable, and we stand firmly with him,” said Islamabad United’s Head Coach, Mike Hesson.
“While we’re pleased with our start to the season, we’re not resting on our laurels. We’re excited to welcome Kyle Mayers, a proven T20 performer, who we believe can make a significant impact on the field.”
Mayers, known for his versatility and dynamism, will bring added balance to the squad. Islamabad’s General Manager, Rehan Ulhaq, shared his confidence in the new signing.
“Kyle Mayers fits perfectly into our team philosophy. He’s multifaceted and brings the balance we need, aligning well with the type of player we value,” Ulhaq said.
With both Short and van der Dussen ruled out, Islamabad United remains focused on its objectives for the season, ready to tackle the challenges ahead both on and off the field.
Islamabad United will take on Multan Sultans on Wednesday.
