Islamabad United have acted quickly to replace Reece Topley after the England bowler withdrew from his scheduled stint in the Pakistan Super League.

Topley, who is currently in the Caribbean with England's T20 squad, was due to fly out to the PSL at the conclusion of the tournament.

However, he will no longer make the trip, and has been replaced in the Islamabad setup by Waqas Maqsood.

Topley has enjoyed a productive tour against West Indies, claiming three wickets and returning an economy rate below six from his three outings to date.

The 27-year-old is making his first appearances for his country since the 2016 T20 World Cup, after an impressive comeback from injury.

Thirty-four-year-old Maqsood has one T20I cap for Pakistan, and a career economy rate of 7.61.

The Central Punjab seamer has previously been on the books of Karachi Kings in the PSL.
