Overview
- PCB launched the tender for two expansion franchises with technical proposals due December 15 and bids limited to Hyderabad, Sialkot, Muzaffarabad, Faisalabad, Gilgit, or Rawalpindi.
- An EY MENA-led valuation of existing teams and commercial assets has concluded, and renewal offers with revised 10-year fees were sent to compliant franchises with review meetings arranged.
- Media reports say auditors recommended sizeable fee hikes of roughly 75–150% for existing teams, with Multan Sultans previously cited as the priciest at about USD 6.35 million annually.
- Sources at Pakistani outlets report that contracts were issued to five franchises while Multan Sultans was excluded over alleged non-compliance tied to earlier disputes with owner Ali Khan Tareen.
- No window has been finalized for PSL 11, and reporting indicates the season is likely to overlap the IPL period next year.
