The franchise owners have submitted to the PCB a list of foreign players who were not sold in the recent IPL auction to ensure that they are included in the Pakistan Super League player draft.

The upcoming seasons of the PSL and Indian Premier League (IPL) are likely to overlap for the first time next year.

While most players will choose the most lucrative Indian league ahead of the PSL, a number of top foreign cricketers including David Warner, Kane Williamson, Adil Rashid, Alex Carey, Keshav Maharaj, Shai Hope, Donovan Ferrara , Daryl Mitchell, Jonny Bairstow, Akeal Hossain remained unsold in the IPL auction.

“The team owners want the PCB to speak to the agents and boards of these players and confirm their availability for PSL 2025,” said an insider.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), apparently inspired by the BCCI’s decision to hold the recent IPL auction abroad, is also planning to hold the draft of PSL players in London or Dubai.

The proposal to carry out the selection of players overseas for the 2025 edition of the PSL was discussed in a meeting between franchise owners and PCB officials.

The PSL joint committee meeting was convened to discuss the preparations and schedule for next year’s PSL.
