PSL 8 2023 – Venues
Pakistan Super League 8th edition will be on the same lines as the previous one. Including semi-finals and finals, a total of 34 games will take place. Last year, all the matches were conducted in Karachi and Lahore, but this time PCB has decided to look into other venues. Below are the venue details for PSL 2023:
- Karachi- National Stadium
National Bank Cricket Arena is a national stadium in Karachi. It can accommodate 34,000 viewers. PSL 2023 will conduct 9 matches here.
- Lahore- Gaddafi Stadium
This is the renowned stadium in Lahore. It has a capacity of 27,000 people at a time. 9 matches of PSL 2023 will be played here.
- Multan- Multan Cricket Stadium
PSL has declared Multan cricket stadium fit for conducting PSL matches. It can accommodate 35,000 people. 8 matches of PSL will be conducted here.
- Rawalpindi- Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium
PSL viewers will be able to witness 8 PSL matches in Rawalpindi this year. It can accommodate 15,000 people.
PSL 2023 – Auction
Pakistan Cricket Board suggested the PSL auction 2023 model for franchises for season 8 of HBL PSL 2023. The idea is to attract top-ranked players from all over the world with the PSL 2023 auction. Here is the suggested idea as follows
- Retain a Maximum 4 Player
- Four overseas players should auction
- Twelve players selected from drafts
- 1 Million Salary Cap
- Three local and one overseas should retain
- The budget for the Auction would be $600k (only for world-class cricketers)
Previously, there were over 425 players available for selection, hailing from more than 32 different nations. The PCB has established the Right to Match Card in preparation for the tournament in 2023. It indicates that both teams will receive one card of this kind, which they can use during the drought to choose a player previously cut from their squad.
The teams can keep a total of no more than eight players on their rosters and make whatever transfers they see necessary.
Thus, the HBL PSL 8 Auction model is suggested to all franchises for the coming season, PSL auction 2023 season 8. But franchises will review it and confirm it in a meeting with PCB.
