Exciting news for cricket lovers, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) is set for its biggest expansion yet. PSL CEO Salman Naseer has confirmed that two new franchises will be added ahead of PSL Season 11, increasing the total number of teams from six to eight. This major development marks a new milestone in the league’s journey toward becoming one of the top global T20 competitions.
The decision to expand comes after years of growing popularity and commercial success, with the PSL now recognized as a major contributor to Pakistan’s cricketing and entertainment landscape. The auction for the two new teams is expected to attract strong interest from both local and international investors, reflecting the league’s rising brand value and fan following.
Along with new teams, the PSL will also feature six venues for the upcoming season. Peshawar’s Imran Khan Stadium and Faisalabad’s Iqbal Stadium are being added to the existing lineup of Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Multan. This expansion aims to bring top-tier cricket closer to fans across the country, promoting regional representation and encouraging local talent.
Officials believe that the inclusion of new franchises and venues will make PSL 11 one of the most competitive and engaging seasons yet. It will also help distribute the excitement of live matches beyond the traditional cricket hubs, strengthening Pakistan’s domestic cricket infrastructure and community engagement.
With this bold move, the PSL continues to grow as a symbol of Pakistan’s cricketing pride and global ambition.
