This pool contains the categories of Platinium, Diamond, Gold, Silver, Emerging, and Supplementary as the lifeblood of the PSL.

Salary Caps
The salary cap is an essential part of the PSL draft. Each PSL franchise is allocated a specific budget which they can use to recruit players. This financial limitation makes sure that no single franchise can load its squad with all the marquee players.

Franchise Selection
The draft of PSL employs several instruments to ensure equality and effectiveness. These instruments define the order in which PSL franchises make their choices. They may contain performance from the previous PSL edition, a random draw, or other reasons. The idea is to restrict any single PSL franchise from ruling the draft and to keep the Pakistan Super League balanced.
Squad Composition
PSL franchises take their turns to choose players from different categories to shape up their squad as the draft discloses. The selections of players are normally strategic, with franchises targeting those players who can fill particular roles within the team. This procedure normally contains a mixture of national and overseas players as international talent is important for global demand and a high level of competition in the league.
Supplementary Round
All the PSL franchises are allowed supplementary picks after the completion of the primary draft. These player picks are usually reserved for those players who serve as replacements or backups in case of injuries to players of the main squad. These players can prove to be helpful in the passage of a long and challenging season.
Trades and Transfers
PSL franchises can also be involved in trades and transfers of players during or before the draft to recruit or release players depending on their strategic needs.
Team Composition
Each PSL franchise has a squad of players ready for the upcoming season of PSL after the completion of the draft. The squad contains a mixture of national and overseas players.
