The PSL was supposed, to grow in its magnitude but it hasn't. Many players who were signed with the PSL franchises left the league, citing one reason or another and were seen returning to the IPL. Shahid Afridi's statement seems to be real, as he had claimed that only the unsold IPL players play the PSL.
Spencer Johnson had signed with the Quetta Gladiators as a direct signing ahead of the 2026 PSL season; however, he later withdrew before the start of the contest, citing some personal reasons. This decision was made official on the 15th of March.
Just a week after withdrawing from the PSL, the Australian speedster has been signed by the Super Kings, and he confirmed it with an Instagram Story.

Spencer Johnson is Nathan Ellis's like-for-like replacement
Australian pacer Nathan Ellis was picked as a crucial player in the deck following the release of Matheesha Pathirana; his importance had piled up to a new level. However, the 31-year-old from Australia injured his hamstring and was ruled out of the competition.
He is a like-for-like replacement, as the left-arm pacer also has a stunning stock ball that shapes away from right-handers, a slower ball that could deceive anyone and lastly, a toe-crushing yorker, which he can land to perfection in the death overs.
Who will lead the CSK bowling deck in 2026?
CSK are loaded with left-armers, as Gurjanpreet Singh and Mukesh Choudhary would also be on the bench for the Super Kings. The Stephen Fleming-coached side will have Matt Henry available for the series as a backup for Ellis.
