HBL PSL Teams 2026 – Players List of all Teams in PSL 11

In this article, we will explore the Pakistan Super League – HBL PSL Teams season 11 2026. 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 2025. From PSL 11 onwards, there are eight teams participating in the HBL PSL. The two new teams got their rights through the auction process. The Pakistan Super League is a sole entity where each of the franchises is controlled and owned by the investors.

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 it 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. However, in 2026, the Tareen group didn’t extend the contract, and PCB decided to sell the Multan Sultans franchise.

On the auction day of Multan Sultans, Ali Khan Tareen was also part of that auction, but was unable to buy back this franchise. Walee Technologies appeared as the new owner of this franchise, and they have the option to change the name of this franchise. The new owner takes the benefit of this offer and changes the Multan Sultans name to Team Rawalpindi. It is important to mention here that Multan Sultans were recognized as the team from the Southern Punjab, and Southern Punjab lost its team due to the uncertain decisions of Ali Khan Tareen.
