PSL team owners write to PCB over foreign players' availability in clash with IPL

With next year's Pakistan Super League dates likely to clash with the Indian Premier League 2025, the franchise owners of PSL have asked the country's cricket board to provide them clarity on the availability of foreign players for the competition. A well-informed source close to the PSL franchise owners said that they have written a letter to the new PSL Director, Salman Naseer, asking him to convene a meeting soon to address their concerns. He also said the franchise owners felt that due to some pressing matters, including the hosting of the Champions Trophy early next year, the PCB could put the issues relating to the next PSL edition on the back burner. “Some of the franchise owners have asked Salman Naseer to follow up on the promise of setting up an independent PSL secretariat, which has not happened in 10 years.” After the 10th edition of PSL next year, all the franchises and the Pakistan Cricket Board have to revisit their agreements and financial bonds.
