The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11 players auction began today at the Expo Centre in Lahore, marking a historic shift from the traditional draft system used in the previous ten editions.
This first-ever auction replaces the draft process, reflecting expansion plans with the introduction of two new franchises, Sialkot Stallionz and Hyderabad Houston Kingsmen, ahead of the upcoming season.
A total of 879 local and international cricketers registered for the auction, divided into five categories by the PCB: Platinum, Diamond, Gold, Silver, and Emerging players for selection.
Franchises can now build squads by freely bidding for players without any pick order, operating within a maximum budget of USD 1.6 million, creating opportunities for competitive and strategic acquisitions.
