View the Islamabad United squad → PSL 2027 fixtures →
There was no quiet way into PSL 11 for Islamabad United: a new auction, a new structure, and Mohammad Salman Mirza inside a squad that finished the league stage in second place with 1 points. United reached the playoffs yet again, keeping up the most consistent qualification record in the league.
Auction squads are built in layers, and this layer matters more than outsiders think. When the first XI is set, these are the players competing to be the injury cover, the match-up pick, the final-over gamble.
Coaches who have worked with players from franchise and domestic cricket inside Pakistan, where a single strong season can redraw a career tend to say the same thing — the workload is managed like a senior professional's, whatever the birth certificate says.
Selection logic at Islamabad United starts with balance, and Shadab Khan's sides usually reflect it: the top order is given licence early and accountability late.

A note on sources: figures on this page come from the PCB, the official league site, ESPNcricinfo, Wisden or cross-checked record lists. Lines without a traced source stay PENDING on purpose.
Home fixtures bring their own texture: Islamabad United play out of Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, and regulars there know how conditions shift between a fresh pitch in week one and a worn one by the playoffs.
Between the 23 January auction and the 18 March opener there are barely seven weeks to turn a squad list into a team. Islamabad United's pre-season will be judged on exactly that conversion. The telling stat will not be the headline one. It will be performance in the phase this player is actually bought for — and whether it survives contact with the playoffs.
