Pakistan Super League 2025 will start from 17th April and will be played till 22nd May. A total of 6 teams play in this league. Recently a draft was organized for the upcoming season of the league. Actually, like IPL, there is no auction in Pakistan Super League. In PSL, teams prepare their squad through draft. Before the next season of Pakistan Super League, Pakistan Cricket Board has taken a big decision. Actually, PCB will pay additional amount to foreign players to make themselves available for the league.
The Pakistan Cricket Board will pay an additional sum of US$100,000 to six high-profile foreign players in the PSL franchises to make themselves available for the league. PCB has agreed to give money from a special fund. Let us tell you, during the PSL draft, the PCB had fixed the maximum base price salary for each foreign player to the franchise at US $ 200,000. A PSL official said, 'For example, David Warner came for a fee of US $ 300,000 and out of this, Rs 100,000 will be paid by the PCB from a special fund.'
Let us tell you, many foreign players who were unsold in the Indian Premier League auction have been signed by the franchises for PSL 10. These include players like Warner, Daryl Mitchell, Kane Williamson, Finn Allen, Matthew Short, Sean Abbott, Nahid Rana, Liton Das, Michael Bracewell, Russi van der Dussen, Bosch. Earlier, the highest paid players in PSL were Kieron Pollard (US$250,000) and AB de Villiers (US$230,000).
Pakistan Super League was started in the year 2015. That means this time the 10th season of this league will be played. But this will be the first time when Pakistan Super League will compete with IPL. Actually, IPL 2025 will also be played from March 21 to the end of May. In such a situation, this time only big players who are not part of IPL will be seen playing in Pakistan.
