The excitement for Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10 is already building, and Islamabad United’s pace sensation Naseem Shah has added more fuel to the fire. The speedster is all set to share the field with Australian stars Riley Meredith and Matthew Short, and he couldn’t be happier about it.
Naseem’s Excitement Is Contagious
In a statement released by Islamabad United, Naseem couldn’t hide his enthusiasm about the team’s new additions. He’s particularly thrilled about Meredith’s raw pace and Short’s explosive batting.
“Riley’s pace and bounce are something special,” said Naseem. “I think he’s going to light up the league. Pakistani fans are passionate about fast bowling, and we love express pace—Riley fits that perfectly.”

As for Matthew Short, Naseem Shah joked about being relieved that they’ll be on the same side. “What can I say? I’m just glad we won’t have to bowl to him! He’s as destructive as they come.”
What Meredith and Short Bring to the Table?
Matthew Short is a T20 dynamo with a blistering strike rate of 146.46. Known for dismantling bowling attacks, he’s expected to thrive on the batting-friendly pitches of Rawalpindi. Imagine him smashing bowlers to all parts of the ground—it’s going to be a treat for Islamabad United fans.
On the other hand, Riley Meredith’s thunderbolts will add firepower to the bowling attack. With 142 wickets in 113 T20 games at an average of 24.26, he’s a bowler who can intimidate even the best batters.
A Well-Rounded Squad
Islamabad United didn’t just stop at Meredith and Short. They’ve built a strong squad for PSL 10, featuring a mix of local talent and international stars. Ben Dwarshuis, another Aussie pacer with 176 T20 wickets, adds depth to the bowling unit.

As the countdown to PSL 10 begins, fans can’t wait to see this exciting squad in action. Will Naseem and Meredith form the dream pace duo? Will Short set the league on fire with his bat? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—Islamabad United is a team to watch out for this season.
