History

Twenty-Twenty also known as T20, the new format of Cricket lit up this sport since its introduction at the international level in 2005. As this T20 format of cricket earns more love and attention than the other formats. The concept of the introduction of a league in cricket was born following the leagues of other sports like football.

The 1st ICC T20 World Cup was played in 2007, and the Winner of this World Cup was India It was hosted by South Africa. ICC conducted 9 successful T20 World Cup events and the last World Cup was played in West Indies & United States of America and India was the Winner of this World Cup. England, West Indies and India got World T20 title twice. Pakistan, Australia and Sri Lanka got this title once. Now, the 10th edition of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 will be co-hosted by the India & Sri Lanka in 2026.

The first professional T20 cricket league was held in England in 2003 which wasn’t the franchise base cricket league. So, the first ever franchise-base cricket league was introduced in the world of cricket by BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) in 2008 with the permission and consent of the ICC (International Cricket Board) which earned fame globally.

Following T20 Blast and IPL, other cricketing boards in the country decided to launch their own franchise-base cricket leagues like Australia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and others.

After many discussions and meetings about the league, it was officially announced in 2015 by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to launch the country’s own Pakistan Super League (PSL). So, the much-awaited league for the betterment of Pakistan cricket finally began in February 2016 in the United Arab Emirates as the doors of international cricket were closed in Pakistan due to security concerns.

Pakistan Super League was one big step by the PCB towards the revival of international cricket back in Pakistan as a higher percentage of international players took part in the league. Two of Pakistan’s former captains signed with PCB as brand ambassadors of PSL for 3 years for its promotion.

The first two seasons of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) played with five teams. The names of these five participating teams were based on the provincial capitals and the federal capital of Pakistan. Later, the PSL management decided to add a sixth team which was added in the third season of the league in 2018. For the recruitment of local and international players, the organizers of PSL choose the drafting system which is used in many professional sports in America which is different from the auction system.

On 20 September 2015, the official logo of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) was revealed by 3Di in a ceremony in Lahore which was attended by Pakistan’s current and retired cricketers and celebrities.

In December 2015, the organisers of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) sold the commercial rights for 93 million US dollars to the initial franchises for a period of ten years. Initially, in 2017, the market value of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) was up to 300 million US dollars, which has significantly increased in the years since its inaugural season.
