Islamabad United allrounder Matt Short has been ruled out of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 ahead of their game against Karachi Kings.
In a statement on Sunday, the defending champions said that the all-rounder will miss the remainder of the PSL 10 due to a recurrence of the injury he sustained during the Champions Trophy 2025.
“Following his arrival in Pakistan, Matt [Short] had shown encouraging signs of recovery. However, discomfort resurfaced during training sessions, prompting immediate assessment by Islamabad United’s medical team in close consultation with Cricket Australia’s medical staff,” as per the statement.
Following the medical review, the franchise and Cricket Australia decided to send Matt Short back to Australia to continue his rehabilitation.
“As a result, Matt Short has returned to Australia to continue his rehabilitation under the supervision of Cricket Australia,” the franchise said.
