An annual T20 franchise-based league in Pakistan called the HBL PSL is played. The Karachi Kings, Peshawar Zalmi, Lahore Qalandars, Quetta Gladiators, Islamabad United, and Multan Sultans are six teams that represent various Pakistani cities. International players sign up for the PSL draft, whereupon the teams select players in different divisions to complete their squad. We will talk about the price list, contract information, and wages of PSL players.
PSL 9's current season is scheduled to begin in February. A draft in which players are chosen and compensated based on their category takes place before this. Following the draft, a contract will be made and funds will often be sent into the player's bank account. We will provide you with all of the information on PSL 8 players' salaries.
There are different categories like Platinum, Diamond, Gold, Silver, and Emerging. Prices and salaries vary by category.
Every year, Pakistan's T20 league, known as the Pakistan Super League (PSL), takes place in February or March. The PSL is made up of franchise-based teams featuring players from various nations, just like the IPL. This year, in contrast to past years, the players who have signed large contracts to play in the PSL are at the top of the list. The contracts between the teams and the salaries of PSL 2024 players were recently made public by PCB.
The Pakistan Cricket Board launched the PSL in 2015. In 2017, the league's initial membership of five teams was increased to six. The final match of the current PSL 2024 season is set for June 24, 2024.
