Andries Gous has been retained by Islamabad United for the 2026 Pakistan Super League (PSL) season as an overseas player in the Silver category.
The South African-American wicketkeeper-batter is widely recognized for his explosive top-order batting and his ability to perform under pressure.

Apart from his batting, Gous also brings significant value with his wicketkeeping skills. His sharp reflexes behind the stumps and effective communication with bowlers add balance and depth to Islamabad United’s playing XI. This dual role gives the team greater flexibility in squad selection.
The franchise’s decision to retain him reflects strong confidence in his abilities and his understanding of the team’s strategy. As PSL 2026 approaches, Islamabad United will once again look to Andries Gous to provide aggressive starts, stability at the top order, and crucial contributions in their pursuit of another successful campaign.
