The proposal that was suggested by Walee Technologies, the Pakistan Super League media rights holder, was reportedly discussed at the PSL Governing Council meeting held in London on September 1. The main reason behind the discussion is the advertising market in April and May. Amid this, Fatima Sana slams batters after a humiliating loss against India.
The franchise owners are also worried about their broadcast revenue. Under the current PSL agreement, the eight teams receive 95% of the broadcast revenue from the central revenue pool. Owners want to be sure that they will receive their full share, no matter when the PSL is played.
PSL likely to face new player availability problem
The Pakistan Super League was played in the February-March window from 2016 to 2024. It was moved to April and May in the last two seasons because of the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025 and the ICC T20 World Cup this year.
But if the PCB moves the PSL back to the January and February window, it could bring that problem again. The PSL would then compete with the SA20 and Big Bash League (BBL) for overseas players. Amid this, Wahab Riaz hits back at Sana Mir over Pakistan Women’s team shake-up.
However, this issue can be solved if the tournament begins in Karachi, where the weather is better during winter, and then moves to Punjab and Peshawar as the weather becomes warmer.
PSL owners eye esports to attract young fans amid growing concerns
Esports was discussed as one possible option because of its growing popularity in Pakistan. Some franchise owners are worried that interest in the PSL could fall because of Pakistan’s poor performances. Moving into esports could help the league connect with a younger audience.
The PCB also discussed the possibility of holding a separate mid-year tournament under the current rights deal. This could give both the franchises and the broadcaster another way to earn money and keep the PSL active during the year.
