    PSL 2023 Retained Players List With Their Category

    PSL 2023 Retained Players: The eighth edition of the PSL is scheduled to take place between February – March 2023. As per PSL 2023 Schedule, the first match of the tournament will be played between Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars on February 13 at Multan Cricket Stadium.

    The Pakistan Cricket Board announced plans to hold matches in Multan, Peshawar, Lahore and Karachi during the 2023 season. In the previous iteration of this tournament in 2022, matches were only held in Lahore and Karachi.

    However, it was declared that the Arbab Niaz Stadium in Peshawar is unfit to hold any matches in the tournament. PCB chairman Ramiz Raja announced plans to introduce an auction to replace the draft for the 2023 version of the tournament.

    “Today we have checked another box on our journey towards the HBL Pakistan Super League 8.

    It gives me immense pleasure that the HBL PSL has transformed into one of the most successful and sought-after leagues, and the interest and willingness of the T20 superstars from around the world to be a part of it is a testimony,” PSL Tournament Director Usman Wahla was quoted as saying in PCB’s official website.

    PSL 2023 Retained Players

    PSL 2023 Retained Players: Since the 2023 South Asian Games are also scheduled to take place in Pakistan in the same time window that PSL takes place in, the dates for the tournament were uncertain. The PSL 2023 is scheduled to take place from 9 February to 19 March 2023.

    Lahore Qalandars is the only franchise that retained two players, Rashid Khan and Shaheen Afridi in the platinum category while all other franchises have gone for just one platinum retention.

    Karachi Kings have traded their skipper Babar Azam to Peshawar Zalmi and have got Haider Ali (Platinum category) and Shoaib Malik (Diamond category).
