Lahore, Pakistan – Islamabad United has announced that aggressive batter Asif Ali will lead the team in the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022 match against Peshawar Zalmi. This decision comes after incumbent skipper Shadab Khan was ruled out due to an injury.
In a statement released on their official Twitter handle, Islamabad United confirmed the news, saying, “Asif Ali will be officially captaining Islamabad United for the 1st time in the PSL in the absence of Shadab Khan against Peshawar Zalmi.”
