The Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10 draft has been rescheduled, with the event now slated to take place on January 13 in Lahore.
Initially set for an earlier date, the draft was postponed due to weather forecasts predicting rain, which necessitated a two-day adjustment.
This change provides the production team and broadcasters additional time to finalize preparations.
A rehearsal for the draft will be held on January 12, ensuring all arrangements are in place for the main event.
Sources confirmed that the date change was made to ensure a smooth and well-organized event.
The draft, originally planned for Gwadar, will now be hosted at Hazuri Bagh, Bara Dari in Lahore. An official announcement regarding the updated schedule is expected shortly.
Multan Sultans’ owner, Ali Jahangir Tareen, recently voiced dissatisfaction with the PSL’s decision-making process regarding the draft venue.
In an interview, Tareen criticized the management for selecting Gwadar without consulting franchise owners, describing the decision as rushed and lacking effective communication.
Meanwhile, the draft pick order for the platinum category has been finalized.
Two-time champions Lahore Qalandars will have the first pick in the opening round, followed by their arch-rivals Karachi Kings.
The 2019 champions, Quetta Gladiators, will pick third, while Peshawar Zalmi holds the fourth spot.
Last season’s runners-up, Multan Sultans, will pick fifth, with reigning champions Islamabad United selecting sixth.
