There was no quiet way into PSL 11 for Islamabad United: a new auction, a new structure, and Faheem Ashraf inside a squad that wrapped up the campaign in second place with 1 points on the board. United reached the playoffs yet again, keeping up the most consistent qualification record in the league.
Faheem Ashraf — the full profile
Faheem Ashraf was the first player ever sold at a PSL auction, bought by Islamabad United for PKR 8.5 crore on 11 February 2026 after bidding opened at a base price of PKR 4.2 crore.
The all-round role is the squad's insurance policy: runs from the lower middle order, overs when a frontline bowler is targeted, and athletic fielding. Teams that win PSL titles usually have two or three players doing exactly this job.
The road here ran through Pakistan's domestic circuit, where the National T20 and first-class grind still shape most PSL careers, and it shows in the way the role is played: preparation is treated as part of performance, not a warm-up for it.
Inside the Islamabad United XI, the fit is shaped by Shadab Khan's habits: match-ups are hunted aggressively, even at the cost of a settled XI.

Faheem Ashraf and PSL 12
The season's shape — ten league matches, a four-team playoff squeeze — means slow starts are punished harder than ever; Islamabad United's early fixtures, with sides like Peshawar Zalmi and Rawalpindiz in the rotation, will set the tone. What to watch is how the captain uses this player when the match tightens — those overs and those batting positions tell you the real pecking order.
