“Our aim is to pick a team based on data that plays a very modern style of play. Winning and losing is part of the game, but we want to set new trends as a team,” Shadab tweeted.

United finished fourth in the previous edition of the Pakistan Super League and were eliminated by Lahore Qalandars in the second elimination round.

The player draft for the eighth season of the Pakistan Super League will take place in Karachi on December 15.

The PCB has already announced the draft order, with the defending champions, Lahore Qalandars, selecting first.

Reminder for all is that the 2023 season is set to start on February 9 across four venues – Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Multan – with the final on March 19.

I am in Australia for the Big Bash but I will be joining my team @IsbUnited for the draft on zoom. Our aim is to pick a team based on data, a team that plays a very modern style of play. Winning and losing is part of the game but we want to set new trends as a team. #UnitedWeWin
