The proposal to host the PSL 10 draft abroad gains traction.
The Pakistan Super League (PSL) is working on the possibility of conducting the player draft for its 10th edition at an international venue.
Sources said that England and Dubai are being considered as potential locations for this mega event.
This proposal was discussed during a recent planning meeting aimed at elevating the league’s operations and global presence.
PSL to compete with IPL
Much like IPL before it, PSL hosting the draft overseas is seen as a strategy to boost the league’s profile and attract wider international attention.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has assured franchises of its commitment to including top international cricketers in the upcoming draft.
Franchises have emphasised the need for financial support from the PCB to secure big-name players, ensuring their participation in PSL 10.

The PSL, celebrated for its thrilling matches and star-studded lineups, aims to make the 10th edition a landmark event.
Hosting the draft in a prestigious international venue is expected to not only draw global attention but also solidify the league’s reputation as one of the premier T20 tournaments in the world.
More discussions are expected in the coming weeks to finalise the draft location and ensure the availability of top-tier international players.
If okayed, the international draft venue could mark a significant milestone in PSL history, underscoring its ambition to reach new heights of popularity and competitiveness.
The Pakistan Super League is a men’s Twenty20 cricket league contested by six city-based franchise teams. The league was founded in 2015 by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
