The PSL Auction rules represent a historical change because the Pakistan Super League will not use drafts but auction at the season 11. As the league grows to comprise eight teams, with new teams in Hyderabad and Sialkot, the Pakistan Cricket Board has established a well-organised bidding process in order to achieve a balance of competition.
Auction Structure and Purse Limit
Within the new system, franchises are allowed to keep a maximum of four players, each of a different price base, PKR 4.2 crore, 2.2 crore, 1.1 crore, and 0.6 crore. The lowest steps of bidding will be between PKR 0.025 crore and 0.150 crore, depending on the category of player. Each team is given a 45 crore purse, which may be increased to PKR 50.5 crore to sign one overseas player who failed to feature in the previous season. All the new teams will be able to draft unpicked players.
Squad Composition and Player Contracts
The teams are required to choose between 16 and 20 players, five or seven of them being foreign. Each playing XI should includeat least three foreign members and one uncapped under twenty-three cricketer. The contracts will be for two years, and future retention will be limited after the upcoming season. The modified PSL Auction rules will be based on raising the level of competence and transparency in the process and making the league particularly more attractive on a global scale.
