Islamabad United (United We Stand)- Feature by Shoby

Finally the wait is over and cricket hungry nation is all set to embrace the best of cricket excitement as we welcome the inaugural edition of our very own T20 league PSL (Pakistan Super Leagure). Dubai Sports City will host the first ever T20 match of the tournament today Thursday dated February 4, 2016 which will be played between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators.

At Shobywood, here comes an exclusive series where we are going to discuss the teams participating in HBL PSL as the season of cricket is just about to begin.

At the start lets talk about the team representing the coolest capital of Pakistan Islamabad United captained by ex-Pakistani national team captain Misbah ul Haq and coached by none other than the Sultan of Swing the legendary all rounder Waseem Akram. 

Misbah has been a very successful captain in all the three versions of the games & is regarded as Pakistan's most successful test captain and although he is considered as a bit slow and defensive, he will surely put up his experience and skills to make a prominent name for his team. Similarly one should not doubt Waseem Akram who has not only been a one of its kind bowler in the history of cricket but also acted as a coach of the winning franchise of KKR in IPL.

Other players to be watched closely in the team are Shane Watson, Andre Russell, Sam Billings, Umar Amin and Babar Azam. With a good mix of young & experienced players, this team has the potential to deduce good results on the day.
