Pakistan Super League has officially expanded with the addition of a seventh team, and businessman Fawad Sarwar has confirmed that the new franchise will represent the city of Hyderabad. The team was acquired by FKS Group, owned by Sarwar, for a record price of PKR 1.75 billion, making it the most expensive franchise purchase in PSL history.
The inclusion of Hyderabad marks an important step for the league as it brings top level cricket to a city with deep sporting roots but limited recent representation at the national stage. Cricket fans in Sindh, especially in Hyderabad and nearby areas, have welcomed the announcement with excitement, hoping the new team will revive local interest and create fresh opportunities for young talent.
Fawad Sarwar said the decision to choose Hyderabad was based on its strong cricket culture and passionate fan base. He added that the franchise aims to build a competitive team while also investing in grassroots cricket, youth development, and local facilities. According to him, the goal is not just to play matches, but to create a long term cricket ecosystem in the region.
The Pakistan Cricket Board has also expressed support for the expansion, calling it a positive move for the growth of the PSL. League officials believe adding a new team will increase competition, viewership, and commercial value.
With the next PSL season expected to feature the Hyderabad franchise, fans are already looking forward to the team name, colors, and squad announcement. The move signals a new chapter for the PSL and highlights the league’s continued growth both on and off the field.
