Lahore (Web Desk): The player draft for Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10 was held Lahore’s Hazoori Bagh on Monday.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has revamped the draft structure for PSL 10, making notable changes to how players are categorized. The Platinum category now features two distinct tiers, offering a more refined selection process. Meanwhile, the Diamond category has been streamlined into a single tier, eliminating the previous complexity.
Adjustments were also made to the Gold and Silver categories; Gold is now divided into two tiers, while Silver has been trimmed down to just three.
These changes are expected to impact how franchises approach their player selections and team compositions as they look to strengthen their squads for the upcoming season.
With the draft process now offering a clearer distinction between player tiers, the balance of power among the six franchises could shift in unexpected ways.
