ALL About PSL

What is PSL?

The Pakistan Super League is a professional cricket league for men Twenty20, sanctioned by the Pakistan Cricket Board, which represents the highest level sport in Pakistan. The league was founded in Lahore on September 8, 2015 and currently consists of 6 teams. Instead of functioning as an independent team association, the league is a unique entity in which each franchise is owned and controlled by investors. The commercial rights of the original concessionaires were sold for US $ 93 million during a period of 10 years in December 2015.

According to reports, the five are Caribbean captain Darren Sammy, Englishman Dawid Malan, Samit Patel and Chris Jordan, and Jamaican Marlon Samuels.The management of PSL has drawn up a list of international players willing to choose between the two teams. An additional bonus of over $ 10,000 would be offered to these players to play in Pakistan.But critics say the names on the list are mostly "abandoned, retired or unknown" players whose influence in the introduction of international cricket in Pakistan is likely to be negligible.
