ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): The Pakistan Super League (PSL) teams have completed their squads for the 11th edition after the tournament’s first-ever players’ auction was held today at Expo Center in Lahore, marking a historic shift in the league’s player recruitment system.
The PSL, for the first time in its 11-year history, has a player auction instead of the traditional draft, with two new franchises, Hyderabad and Sialkot, added to the tournament.
Earlier, each team was allowed to retain up to four players, one each from Platinum, Diamond, Gold, and Silver categories, and was allowed to directly sign one player.
At the auction, the teams were required to build a squad of 16 to 20 players, with at least five and at most seven overseas players allowed. Teams must also have at least two uncapped U23 players in the squad, and at least one should be selected in each playing XI.
After an intense round of bidding during the whole, all eight teams have now completed their balanced squads for PSL 11, featuring both local stars and international names.
