Competition could move away from the crowded December-February window to April-May
Islamabad United were crowned the champion of the PSL 2024 • PCB
The PCB has proposed a spate of radical changes to the PSL which, if approved, could include:
Shifting the league from next season to an April-May window which would mean it clashes directly with the IPL, in a bid, officials say, to “co-exist” with the IPL rather than “compete” with it.
Extra money for franchises to sign a marquee player outside the salary cap, including the possibility of a USD300,000-plus contract.
Play-offs to be played at a neutral venue, with the UK as an option
The plans are at a proposal stage at the moment with a decision to be taken only later in May at a governing council meeting between the board and franchises.
They come as the PSL tries to move away from the crowded December-February window in which it operates currently where it clashes not only with four other T20 leagues, but also a busy international cricket calendar.
