Islamabad United have been dealt an early setback ahead of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10 as Australian wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey will not be available for the tournament.

Carey was picked by Islamabad United as a partial replacement for South African batter Rassie van der Dussen. However, due to his domestic cricket commitments in Australia, Carey will be unable to participate in the tournament.

According to team management, van der Dussen is expected to join the squad soon, easing the impact of Carey's absence.

The PSL 10 season officially begins today, with a grand opening ceremony followed by the inaugural match between Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
