The Birth of the Pakistan Super League

The Pakistan Super League was launched in 2016 with the vision of revitalizing cricket in Pakistan and providing a platform for local talent to shine alongside international stars. The inaugural season featured five teams: Islamabad United, Karachi Kings, Lahore Qalandars, Peshawar Zalmi, and Quetta Gladiators. These teams quickly became household names, representing different regions of Pakistan and igniting fierce rivalries.

The first season was held in the UAE due to security concerns in Pakistan, but it still managed to capture the hearts of millions. Islamabad United emerged as the first-ever champions, setting the tone for the league’s competitive spirit.

PSL Journey | Historic Moments

As PSL heads to the tenth season, it has brought many historic moments, for all the six franchises involved in the tournament.

One of the most significant moments in the PSL journey was the league’s gradual return to Pakistan. After hosting the initial seasons in the UAE, the PSL began bringing matches back to Pakistan in 2017. The final of the second edition, held in Lahore, was a historic event that marked the return of international cricket to the country.

By PSL 5 (2020), the entire tournament was held in Pakistan, a monumental achievement that showcased the country’s ability to host world-class sporting events. This move not only boosted the league’s popularity but also reignited the passion of local fans who could now witness their favorite players live in action.

Islamabad United came back to win their third title in the previous season and became the most decorated franchise in tournament’s history. They will be keen to defend their title and get their name on the trophy embedded once again.

PSL X: A Decade of Excellence

As the PSL approaches its 10th season, often referred to as PSL X, fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be a landmark event in the league’s history. Over the past decade, the competition has not only provided thrilling cricket but has also played a pivotal role in reviving the sport in Pakistan.

The 10th season will undoubtedly celebrate the league’s journey, highlighting its most iconic moments, legendary players, and the unwavering support of its fans.

Radical Changes Proposed for PSL 10

The PCB has proposed several changes to make PSL 10 more competitive and globally appealing:

1. Higher Salaries for Players: The PCB plans to offer marquee players contracts worth up to $400,000, nearly double the current platinum category salaries. This is aimed at attracting top international talent despite the IPL clash.
2. Draft After IPL Auction: To ensure clarity on player availability, the PSL draft may take place after the IPL auction, allowing franchises to pick from a pool of unsold IPL players.
