LAHORE – Franchises have announced their player retentions for Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 11.
For the first time in PSL history, a major change has been introduced in the player selection process. The traditional draft system has been replaced with an auction-based model. Under this new system, franchises can retain only one player from each category instead of eight, while the rest of the team will be formed through the auction.
On Tuesday, the franchises confirmed their retentions for PSL 11.
