2023 Pakistan Super League players draft

The player draft for the 2023 Pakistan Super League was held on 15 December 2022.[1][2][3] Before the draft teams were allowed to retain a maximum of eight players and make transfers.[4][5]

Background

edit

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 a maximum of 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

edit

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

edit

On 11 November 2022, the retained player's 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]
