Complete squads of all eight teams after PSL 11 players auction

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) conducted its first-ever player auction at the Expo Centre on Wednesday, with all eight franchises finalising their squads for the 11th edition, scheduled from March 26 to May 3.

The auction replaced the draft system that had been in place since the league’s inception in 2016. The shift comes as the PSL expands to eight teams with the addition of Sialkot Stallionz and Hyderabad Houston Kingsmen.

Existing franchises were allowed to retain only four core players ahead of the auction.

Rawalpindi made the highest bid of the event, securing Naseem Shah for Rs86.5 million, while Islamabad United signed Faheem Ashraf for Rs85 million.

Karachi Kings acquired David Warner for Rs79 million, and Lahore Qalandars re-signed Fakhar Zaman for Rs79.5 million and Haris Rauf for Rs76 million.

Quetta Gladiators brought back Rilee Rossouw for Rs55.5 million and signed Tom Curran, while Peshawar Zalmi added Michael Bracewell and Kusal Mendis.

Among the new franchises, Sialkot Stallionz signed Sahibzada Farhan and secured Steve Smith as a direct signing. Hyderabad Houston Kingsmen, meanwhile, included Saim Ayub in their roster along with several overseas and domestic players.

Franchises completed balanced squads comprising local and international talent as preparations begin for the expanded PSL 11 season.
