The meeting for direct player signings for the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has been postponed, with the reasons for this delay remaining unclear.
This crucial meeting was expected to finalize player signings and set a date for the PSL 10 draft, which is particularly important as the tournament prepares to compete with the financially lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL).

Sources indicate that no new date has been scheduled for the rescheduled meeting. The timing of this year’s PSL is critical, as it coincides with the potential hosting of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan, which has necessitated a shift from the tournament’s usual timeframe.
The issue of player availability is expected to be a significant topic of discussion, as many international players may prefer the higher salaries offered by the IPL. The last PSL edition saw Islamabad United claim victory against Multan Sultans in the final at the National Stadium in Karachi, securing their third PSL title.
As the league approaches its 10th season, the management will need to address these challenges to maintain competitive player rosters and fan engagement.
