PSL 2025: PCB explores changes in playing conditions, playoffs at neutral venue
PSL 10 will be held between 7 April – 20 May next year
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Saturday confirmed that the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10 will take place during April and May next year.
The decision has been taken because the event will clash with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in the February-March window.
The PCB and its six franchisees, ahead of their General Council meeting, met on Saturday morning at the Gaddafi Stadium.
According to a press release issued by the PCB, Karachi, Lahore, Multan, and Rawalpindi will host matches in Pakistan with each side playing, at least, five matches on home turf. The PCB will continue to explore additional venues for the event.
It has also been proposed to stage the four playoffs at a neutral venue, the PCB added.
In order to make PSL 10 more exciting, some innovative tweaks and changes in the event playing conditions were also explored. Additionally, it was also discussed how to involve, engage, and increase the fan base.
“As always, we had a very exciting and interesting brainstorming session with the franchise owners on the window for Pakistan Super League 2025. The passionate franchise owners provided their all-rounded insight and views on the PCB-recommended window and playoff venues for the 2025 event and beyond,” PCB Chief Operating Officer Salman Naseer said.
“At the back of this meeting, and in relation to the most suitable window for PSL 2025 and beyond, the PCB will share further data with the franchise owners so that they can discuss amongst themselves, make a more informed decision and share their ideas and thoughts at the General Council meeting.
“We look forward to working closely with the franchisees to take timely decisions for the future trajectory of one of Pakistan’s biggest brands.”
