Significant Changes In PSL 2025
In PSL 2025, two radical changes have been made from the PCB side:
1—Competitive Salaries: The salaries have been significantly increased. PCB is trying to attract marquee players to the PSL and has raised their salaries to $400000. This step is taken to attract the top talented players who will agree to play in this league.
2- Draft After IPL Auction: The PSL draft might happen after the IPL auction so teams know which players are free. This will help them pick players who were not chosen in the IPL.
3- Revised Schedule: PSL 10 has been rescheduled from FEB-MAR to MAR-APR for two reasons. The primary reason is Ramadan Kareem, which is a very important and holy month for Muslims. The second reason is the Champions Trophy that is ongoing.
4- Double Matches Per Day: Moreover, one more big change is that now 2 matches will occur in a day. The first shift will start at 2 pm, while on the other hand, the 2nd shift will start at 7 pm. Umpires and captains will enter the ground half an hour before starting the match for the toss.
