The 11th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) T20 tournament is set to begin on March 26, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed on Friday. This season will feature eight franchises competing across several venues.

The announcement followed a meeting of the PSL governing council at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore, chaired by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi. During the session, the chairman and attendees welcomed the new team owners from Sialkot and Hyderabad.

The council also discussed important matters, including the full PSL 11 schedule, player retentions, and the approach for team selections—whether through the player auction, a hybrid “drauction” combining auction and draft, or direct player signings.

“It was decided that the HBL PSL 11 will kick off on Thursday, 26 March as the fans, players and stakeholders look forward to entering the new era of the league.”

The PSL is Pakistan’s premier T20 cricket league which features a mix of local and international players. The league already had six city-based teams which include Karachi Kings, Multan Sultans, Lahore Qalandars, Islamabad United, Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators.

Hyderabad and Sialkot will join the 11th edition of PSL after they were bought for record prices at an auction organized by the PCB this month.

The board will run the Multan Sultans team for the 11th edition before looking for a potential buyer. The previous owner of Multan Sultans, Ali Tareen, announced last month he was walking away from his ownership of the franchise.
