Speaking during the New York roadshow, with details emerging on Sunday, the PCB chief announced that PSL 11 will run from March 26, 2026 to May 3, 2026.
Naqvi said rewarding players helped boost morale and stressed that organizers PCB and PSL are working together for the betterment of cricket.
“Pakistan has huge cricketing talent. Investors in PSL are getting significant returns,” he added. The first PSL roadshow in New York brought together current national cricketers and former stars.
“The success of the PSL is a collective effort and continues to provide entertainment to cricket fans while giving opportunities to local talent,” former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram said at the event in New York.
Six members of the Pakistan men’s national team — Salman Ali Agha, Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Saim Ayub, Shan Masood and Saud Shakeel — also participated in the roadshow.
Apart from Naqvi, former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja and PSL CEO Salman Naseer were also present on the stage during the event.
Raja said the league allowed young Pakistani cricketers to play alongside foreign players, underscoring the tournament’s developmental role.
Recently, the PCB extended by a week the deadline for submitting bids for the two new PSL teams, citing “increasing interest” from Europe, the United States of America (US) and the Middle East.
Naqvi made the announcement on X’s official handle on Friday, sharing that the new deadline is now set for December 22nd of this year.
“With increasing interest from Europe, USA, Middle East and beyond to acquire new HBL PSL teams, we have decided to extend the bidding deadline by one week to December 22, 2025,” the PCB chief wrote.
The PSL, which started in 2016 with five franchises and later expanded to six sides in 2018, is set to expand further with the addition of two new teams from its 11th edition, which will be played next year.
With the upcoming additions, the PSL will undergo its first major restructuring in seven years, bringing the total number of franchises to eight.
