PCB planning to introduce women's PSL early next year

The Hindu  

Alarmed by the poor showing of the national team in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja said on Tuesday that the PCB is planning to introduce a proper domestic set-up for them, which includes a T20 franchise-based league to begin early next year to unearth new talent. We have a base and we are planning to launch a Pakistan Super League for women in January next year with foreign players and also working on having a PSL for under-19 players in October this year," he said. Ramiz said he was keen to launch the two new properties because the PSL had become a successful brand in Pakistan and there was a market for a women's tournament as well. He also said he was looking to introduce an auction system on the lines of the Indian Premier League for the PSL to replace the draft system used now for franchises to sign players.
