As the excitement builds for the 10th season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), a scheduling dispute with England has taken center stage. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) finds itself navigating a delicate balance between safeguarding the PSL's success and maintaining cordial relations with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has unveiled a significant financial initiative to attract top-tier foreign talent for the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). A special fund of $1 million has been established to provide an additional $100,000 bonus to six high-profile international players participating in PSL 2025.

With last year's allocation remaining unused, the fund has now doubled to $1 million. Enhanced Compensation Packages Previously, the maximum base salary for foreign players in the PSL draft was set at $200,000 per player. However, for PSL 2025, this amount has been increased to attract top talent. For instance, David Warner, a marquee signing by the Karachi Kings, is set to earn $300,000 for his participati...
