PCB releases various rules as PSL Draft is scheduled to be held on Sunday
A total of 501 foreign and local cricketers are expected to be available in the draft for next year’s PSL
The Pakistan Super League (PSL) player’s draft for the upcoming season is scheduled to take place on the 12th of November at Lahore. Moreover, it’s been reported that a total of 501 foreign and local cricketers are expected to be available in the draft for next year’s PSL.
Top cricketers from across the world such as Mitchell Johnson, Carlos Brathwaite, Shane Watson, Mustafizur Rahman, Chris Lynn, Dwayne Bravo, Colin Munro, JP Duminy, Imran Tahir, Mitchell McClenaghan, etc are expected to feature at the draft. Even tainted players like Mohammed Asif and Salman Butt have been included.
Draft rules
Promising cricketers from Pakistan’s domestic circuit and even from the U19 setup have been added to the emerging roster. The players up for selection at this year’s draft are divided into five primary categories, i.e. the Platinum, Diamond, Gold, Silver and Emerging players.
Since the teams have already retained nine players each they’re expected to select one each from the Platinum, Diamond and Gold category while 2 from the Silver and Emerging players category to complete their squad of 16 men.
“Teams may also pick up to four players in the Supplementary rounds,” a PCB official was quoted as saying by Brecoder. “Each team will have a salary cap of $ 1.2 million for a squad of 20 players”.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) also introduced a new concept where teams will have an option to nominate players who have been introduced during talent hunt programs excluding those in the emerging players’ category.
“Starting this year, teams may also nominate Talent Hunt Discovery picks. These nominations comprise of players unearthed during talent hunt programs who do not qualify as Emerging players,” he added.
The third edition of the Pakistan Super League gets underway on 23rd February 2018. The tournament is also going to be telecast in India for the first time after DSports acquired the rights to the league.
