Karachi: Two-time winners of Pakistan Super League (PSL) Islamabad United has announced that the already expired contract of Misbah ul Haq as its Head Coach will not be renewed for the upcoming sixth season.
The decision was made due to Misbah’s commitment with the National side and the new conflict of interest rules of the PCB.
The 46-year-old Misbah was appointed as the Head Coach of Islamabad United in December 2019 as they finished last on the points table in PSL season five. United won three matches and lost six.
