PCB Officially Announces PSL 11 Player Auction

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially confirmed that the PSL 11 Player Auction will be held on Wednesday, February 11, ending all speculation surrounding the event.

This announcement marks a major step in preparations for the upcoming Pakistan Super League season, as franchises now begin final planning for squad formation.

High-Level Workshop Held at Gaddafi Stadium

The decision was finalized during a detailed workshop at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, where important matters related to player recruitment and retention policies were discussed.

The session was chaired by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and PSL CEO Salman Naseer. Representatives from all eight franchises, senior PCB officials, and members of Pakistan’s T20 World Cup squad were present.

Several well-known players, including Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Hasan Ali, and Shaheen Shah Afridi, also attended, highlighting the importance of the meeting.

PCB Clarifies Confusion Over Leaked Report

Earlier, a leaked court document had suggested that the auction would be held on February 14, creating confusion among fans and analysts.

However, the PCB has now clarified that this information was incorrect and confirmed February 11 as the official date. Officials stated that although different dates were discussed in earlier stages, the final schedule was not changed because of the leak.

Why the PSL Auction Is So Important

The player auction plays a central role in shaping each team’s performance. Through this process, franchises aim to:

  • Secure top local and international players

  • Build balanced squads

  • Strengthen weak areas

  • Develop winning combinations

With PSL gaining more international recognition every year, the Season 11 auction is expected to attract massive attention.

Fans Look Forward to an Exciting Auction

Cricket fans across Pakistan are eagerly waiting for February 11, when franchises will compete to sign star players and emerging talent.

The auction is likely to feature intense bidding, surprising picks, and major financial deals, making it one of the most exciting events before PSL 11 begins.

With official confirmation now in place, preparations for the new season are in full swing.
