West Indies duo Matthew Forde and Obed McCoy have reached Pakistan to join Islamabad United's squad for the remaining matches of Pakistan Super League (PSL) season nine.
Both the bowlers were involved in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2024 final with Fortune Barishal winning against Comilla Victorians.

It must be noted that Islamabad United's match against Quetta Gladiators was called off due to the continuous heavy rain in Rawalpindi.
The match was slated to start at 7:00pm with the toss taking place half an hour before but the covers were still in the middle of Pindi Cricket Stadium with potholes all over the outfield.
The teams of Islamabad and Quetta didn't arrive at the stadium and stayed at the hotel. The first match was also washed out between Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi as well.
