Gudakesh Motie Injured, Islamabad United's Matthew Short Out
Islamabad United's undefeated streak in PSL 10 continues, but the team will have to adapt to the loss of Short's skills on the field. The Australian all-rounder's injury is a setback, but the team's focus on player well-being and support for Short's recovery demonstrates its commitment to the health and safety of its players.
Islamabad United's Australian all-rounder Matthew Short has been ruled out of the remainder of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10 due to a recurring injury sustained during the ICC Champions Trophy earlier this year. Despite initial signs of recovery, Short reported discomfort during training sessions, prompting a joint medical review by Islamabad United's and Cricket Australia's medical teams.
The 27-year-old Australian all-rounder had shown encouraging signs of recovery but later reported discomfort during training sessions. A joint medical assessment by Islamabad United's medical team and Cricket Australia's staff led to the decision to withdraw him from the competition to focus on his long-term fitness. Short will return to Australia for rehabilitation under Cricket Australia's supervision.
Islamabad United currently sits atop the PSL 10 table with three wins from as many matches, remaining undefeated in the tournament. The team has confirmed that no replacement for Short has been announced. Despite the setback, Islamabad United remains committed to the well-being of all players and extends support to Short during his recovery.
The decision to withdraw Short from the competition is a precautionary measure to ensure his long-term fitness and prevent further injury. Islamabad United's commitment to the well-being of its players is evident in its support for Short's recovery, and the team wishes him a speedy recovery.
