PSL 10
Salman Nasir, CEO of Pakistan Super League (PSL), addressed concerns raised by Multan Sultans’ owner Ali Tareen during his appearance on SAMAA Digital’s program “Zor Ka Jor”.
Nasir emphasized that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is the parent organization, and like any family, disagreements can arise, but these should not be aired publicly. He refrained from commenting on Ali Tareen’s remarks and stated that all PSL franchises are unique and important.
He further mentioned that all players in the league are stars, and every team carefully selects its players. He added that the current format is strong and features several new additions for this season.
Nasir confirmed that 510 players from 19 countries have registered for the PSL draft, with notable participation from Australian and West Indies players.
He explained that the timing of the league, coinciding with the Champions Trophy in February, was chosen to accommodate international players.
“This will be the best season yet, with many players making their debut in the PSL, including David Warner, Tim Southee, and Darrell Mitchell,” he added.
Nasir also praised Lahore Qalandars for their efforts in player development and fan engagement, acknowledging their success in building a strong fan base and supporting their players.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed today that the HBL PSL Player Draft has been rescheduled to take place on 13 January at Huzoori Bagh, Lahore Fort, in Lahore.
The event has been moved from the previously announced venue, Gwadar, due to unforeseen logistical challenges. The HBL PSL 2025 Trophy Tour scheduled for March will now feature Gwadar as a key location on its route across Pakistan.
