Stirling played the first five games of the HBL PSL 7 for United before leaving for international duty, a quadrangular series and the World Cup qualifiers.
He's the second high-profile returnee for Islamabad United who initially left the bio-bubble. England batter Alex Hales departed early citing the mental fatigue of bio-bubbles, before returning for Thursday's Eliminator against Peshawar Zalmi, with his contribution to United's victory earning him the player of the match award.
Remember, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) also announced on Wednesday that in line with the prevalent NCOC regulations and the current Covid-19 positivity trend in the country, the HBL PSL 2022 Health and Safety Protocols have been modified.
One of the amendments is: Reduction in isolation period of asymptomatic cases from seven to five days. A negative Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) will be required to exit the isolation
