Pacer Rumman Raees will be Islamabad United's vice-captain for the third edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Raees will work under the franchise's skipper and the most successful captain in Pakistan's Test history, Misbah-ul-Haq. In addition, Saeed Ajmal, the former Pakistan spinner, has been appointed as Islamabad United's Spin Bowling Coach for PSL-III.
The owner of Islamabad United, one of the franchises of PSL-III, Ali Naqvi told media here Saturday that they are aimed for this franchise to be similar to a family. "We think this is the perfect time for Rumman to be given this responsibility as it allows him to be groomed under the tutelage of a great mentor like Misbah for this season, "he said, adding: "Saeed Ajmal has been part of the family for two years and we have nothing but praise for how he has represented us."
He said, "We believe that Rumman is a future leader in our franchise, and more importantly a future leader for Pakistan. We have been most impressed by him not only as a cricketer but as an individual, and we will try to develop him even further in both these aspects."
