2023 Pakistan Super League players draft
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ramiz Raja had hinted that the draft would be replaced by an auction, but the format was retained.[6] The PCB announced that Lahore Qalandars will have the first pick.[7]
Each team had the right to exercise one wildcard pick. Each team had a right-to-match card which allowed franchises to buy back one player they had released by paying a set fee in each category:[8]
- Platinum ($130,000-$170,000)
- Diamond ($60,000-$80,000)
- Gold ($40,000-$50,000)
- Silver ($25,000)
- Emerging ($7,500)
Transfers
Babar Azam and a supplementary round pick were traded from Karachi Kings to Peshawar Zalmi in return for Shoaib Malik and Haider Ali.[9]
Retained players
On 11 November 2022, the retained players' list was announced.[9] The franchises were allowed to retain a maximum of eight players from the previous season. All the franchises fully utilized their quota of player retentions apart from Peshawar Zalmi.[10]
