In this article, we will explore the Pakistan Super League – HBL PSL Teams season 10 2025. The Pakistan Super League was launched by the Pakistan Cricket Board in 2015 also known as HBL PSL due to its sponsorship. Pakistan Super League – HBL PSL is a T-20 cricket league, initially contested with 5 city-based franchise teams but since 2018 it has been contested between 6 teams till now. The Pakistan Super League is a sole entity where each of the franchises is controlled and owned by the investors.
The ownership of all the franchises was awarded by the management of the Pakistan Super League through a bid system. Around 20 different investors all over Pakistan participated in a bid to buy the rights of PSL franchises. All the initial 5 PSL franchises of the inaugural season were sold for a total price of 93 million US dollars on 3 December 2015 after the formal proposals from seven bidders.
PCB invited bids for the sixth PSL franchise in April 2017 and around 40 parties (national and international) showed their interest in purchasing the rights of the sixth PSL franchise. The sixth franchise Multan from 5 short-listed regions of Pakistan was bought by Schon Properties (Dubai-based real estate developers) in June 2017. Multan became the most expensive franchise of the PSL as its ownership rights were sold for 5.2 million US dollars per year.
However, the rights of the sixth team were terminated by the PCB in November 2018 due to payment issues and resold its rights to Tareen Group after their successful bid in December 2018 for a price of 6.35 million US dollars for seven years.
