The most grand sports event in the cricket history of the nation, Pakistan Super League 2016 is just months away from its first match in February in United Arab Emirates. The professional Twenty20 cricket tournament will be held from 4th to 24th of February.
The Pakistan Super League (PSL) is a professional Twenty20 cricket league in Pakistan composed of 5 member clubs representing cities. Headquartered in Lahore, the PSL is widely considered to be the premier professional cricket league in Pakistan. The PSL Cup will be awarded annually to the league playoff champion at the end of each season.
The Pakistan Super League will be organized in 2016 from 4 Feb To 23 Feb and will replace the existing Haier T20 Cup. The league will draw many highly skilled players from all over the world, and currently has players signed from approximately 11 different countries (9 Full and 2 Associate Members). Pakistani players will constitute the majority of the players in the league.The early commercial rights of franchises were sold out for US$93 million for the span of 10 years in December 2015.
Pakistan Super League Foundation
In September 2015, the PCB officially announced the launch of the Pakistan Super League, with its inaugural season to be played in 2016. Former captains Wasim Akram and Rameez Raja have signed formal contracts to be brand ambassadors of the PSL for the next three years. In its inaugural season, the PSL will only have five teams, with plans for an expansion to a ten league team over the next 5 seasons. The league will use the draft system for player recruitment, similar to that of the National Football League in the United States, as opposed to the “auction” used in other T20 leagues. The PSL’s official logo and anthem of the first season were launched on 20 September 2015 in a launching ceremony in Lahore. The anthem, Ab Khel Ke Dikha, was sung by Ali Zafar and the PSL logo was revealed by 3Di. The ceremony was attended by current and retired cricketers, as well as showbiz celebrities.
