The fifth season of the Pakistan Super League will be held in 2020 and the PSL 2020 squads for all teams will be announced at the end of the PSL Draft that will be held somewhere later this year. This year, according to rumours, all the games in the PSL will be played in Pakistan.
Usually, every season, teams are allowed to retain a handful of players while the rest of them are released back into the PSL Draft. Then, based on what the teams need, their pick in the Draft and the remaining players, they fill up their entire squads. The PSL Draft date will be announced later but it could be held towards the end of 2019.
Once the Draft is over, the PSL squads will be updated with the final teams for the 2020 version of the tournament but for now, here’s a list of all PSL squads from the 2019 edition of the competition.

Before the previous PSL Draft, teams were allowed to retain up to 10 players divided into the various available categories, Platinum, Diamond, Gold, Silver and Emerging. Based on the number of players allowed to retain and those actually retained, teams were allowed to pick the rest of them using the Draft that was held in Islamabad.
Also, before the Draft, teams were allowed trades between themselves as a part of a retention process. The Lahore Qalandars released Brendon McCullum from their squad and brought in Hassan Khan and Rahat Ali in place of Sunil Narine and Umar Akmal who went to the Quetta Gladiators. In another trade, Sohail Tanvir has left Multan Sultans and joined Quetta Gladiators for this season of the PSL. Also interesting to note was that Mohammad Hafeez has been released from the Peshawar Zalmi squad and he will be a part of the Draft that will be held later this month.
PSL 2020 Draft Highlights
During the Draft, the Lahore Qalandars had the first chance to pick a player in the Platinum player and with guys like AB de Villiers and Steven Smith available to feature in the tournament, it was never going to be difficult. The Qalandars went for de Villiers while Multan Sultans, chose Smith.
However, Smith was later ruled out of the competition because of an elbow injury that needed him to return to Australia for surgery.
Shahid Afridi was also picked up by Multan Sultans, while Peshawar Zalmi went for Kieron Pollard and Karachi Kings chose Colin Munro. Also Dwayne Bravo went to Quetta Gladiators during the Platinum picks.
The Diamond category of players saw players like Ian Bell, Mohammad Nawaz, Carlos Brathwaite and Joe Denly get a look in while Samit Patel, Phil Salt, Sikandar Raza, Dawid Malan, Umar Amin, Sandeep Lamichanne, Qais Ahmed and Nicholas Pooran all made it to respective sides from the Silver category.
The bad news for the Multan Sultans was that Steven Smith opted out of the tournament because of an elbow injury. He was replaced by Andre Russell in the Replacement Draft. They also got in James Vince for Joe Denly.
In that same replacement draft, Peshawar Zalmi brought in Andre Fletcher in place of Waqar Salamkheil, while Dwayne Smith will act as a cover for Dwayne Bravo because he won’t be joining the Quetta Gladiators quickly enough.
Lahore Qalandars have signed up for Hardus Viljoen and David Wiese who will come in if AB de Villiers, Corey Anderson and Carlos Brathwaite don’t figure in all their matches.
The country has a strong cricketing heritage and keeps dishing out prominent players on the scene. The country’s capacity at hurling fast bowlers on the cricketing arena is almost incredible. The administrators are tweaking last year’s faults to ensure that everything is hunky dory with Karachi set to host the psl 2020 final . The HBL PSL 2019 players list is placed above.

Pakistan Super League PSL 2020
HBL PSL 2020 will be held entirely in Pakistan
Quetta Gladiators will kick-start the 2020 edition of the Pakistan Super League as the defending champion after defeating Peshwar Zalmi in the final. And according to Pakistan Prime Minister, Imran Khan, it has been announced that the entire PSL will be played in Pakistan next time, which will come as huge news for all Pakistan cricket fans.
According to sources, Lahore and Karachi will be two of the host cities for the fifth PSL season with other cities who have expressed a desire to host the tournament include Multan, Islamabad, Peshawar, Rawalpindi and Quetta.
More information on the PSL schedule for this 2020 edition of the tournament will be released as we get closer to the date but for now, the buzz is that the Pakistan Super League will be played between February 20 and March 22, 2019.
While the PCB is still working on the logistics around the PSL for the upcoming edition, it has been said that all the matches will be played in Pakistan. What this means is that the players who make it to the PSL Draft will have to be a part only if they can commit to featuring in Pakistan for all the games unlike any of the previous seasons.
Media reports in Pakistan suggest that Lahore could host 11 matches while Karachi will see nine matches played. The tournament might also be played at Multan and Rawalpindi who could host 12 matches between them. In other big news, there are reports that the PSL 2020 Final will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore as opposed to the National Stadium in Karachi.
In the fourth season of the Pakistan Super League which was played in 2019, Quetta Gladiatorswon the title by defeating Peshawar Zalmi in the final. This was after both, the Gladiators and Zalmis finished in the top two of the points table with 14 points from 10 games.
The other two teams that qualified for the playoffs where Islamabad United and Karachi Kings, finishing third and fourth with five wins each. Multan Sultans failed to make the playoffs along with the perennial bottom-perchers, Lahore Qalandars who finished sixth yet again.
In the playoffs, Quetta defeated Peshawar in the first Qualifier by 10 runs thanks to a Shane Watson’s 71 to reach the final. Islamabad United overcame Karachi Kings to knock them out of the competition before a Kamran Akmal 74 ended the United hopes in the second Qualifier.
The final saw the Zalmis struggle to make a mere 138/8 from their 20 overs which the Gladiators chased down in 17.5 overs for the loss of two wickets only.
The 2019 edition of the Pakistan Super League was played from February 14, 2019, and eight of the matches were played in Pakistan. The last eight games of the 2019 PSL were played in Pakistan, including the final which was played in Karachi like last season.
PCB had intended to hold three matches in Lahore while Karachi was to host five matches including the season finale but all matches that were to be played in Pakistan were later shifted to Karachi.
The third edition of the HBL PSL concluded on the 25th of March and was yet another successful season. The final was held in Karachi while two games during the playoffs were played in Lahore. We had six teams, 34 matches and 3 matches in Pakistan with 2 taking place in Lahore and 1 match played at Karachi.
In what came across as a surprising move, the Peshawar Zalmi captain Darren Sammy won the toss and decided to bat first. With chasing being a much easier task, the move backfired when the side managed to score just 148/9 from their 20 overs against a batting line-up that had shown considerable strength in the competition.
And that’s exactly how things turned out. Luke Ronchi continued with his impressive form and scored another half-century as the Islamabad United romped to their second title with more than three overs to spare.
First-timers Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars were knocked out of the tournament in the first round itself.
The second edition of the HBL PSL was won by Peshawar Zalmi. In what turned out to be a one-sided final, the Peshawar Zalmi defeated the Quetta Gladiators in the title-decider to lift the trophy. Darren Sammy hammered a quick-fire 28 down the order to become the difference between a score of 125 and 148 and on that slow and sluggish surface, the Gladiators were able to manage just 90 in reply. Mohammad Asghar grabbed three wickets while Hasan Ali and Wahab Riaz scalped two apiece.
The HBL PSL cricket league has put the cricket action from the country back on the map. Boasting of international players and a league like format, the tournament took place in three stages, which was played in Dubai, Sharjah and Pakistan. The teams representing 6 major cities – Peshawar, Quetta, Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore and Multan will take part in the competition.

Karachi, Lahore, Multan and Rawalpindi have been chalked as the four cities in which the tournament will take place this time around.
Lahore, home to the PCB’s headquarters, is set to host 13 of the total 34 games including the final itself. This year’s matches in Lahore were all shifted to Karachi due to political tensions with India.
The tournament is expected to begin from February 20 in Karachi, where last year’s final took place.
However, the announcement is still subject to players agreeing to play the entire tournament in Pakistan and the UAE still remains a back-up option.

The HBL PSL cricket league has put the cricket action from the country back on the map. Boasting of international players and a league like format, the tournament took place in three stages, which was played in Dubai, Sharjah and Pakistan. The teams representing 6 major cities – Peshawar, Quetta, Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore and Multan will take part in the competition.
In arguably the most significant step towards the PSL returning in full to Pakistan, the owners of the franchises in conjunction with the PCB reaffirmed their commitment to playing the fifth edition of the tournament in the country. Four venues – Lahore, Karachi, Multan and Rawalpindi – have been nominated to cover the entire tournament spanning 34 games, though the UAE remains as a back-up option.
The PCB chairman met all franchise owners on Monday to discuss the plans for the tournament slated to begin on February 20 in Karachi. As things stand, Lahore stands to stage 13 matches.
Multan, which last hosted international cricket in 2008, is also believed to be ready to host the tournament. The stadium in Rawalpindi, meanwhile, is being renovated to ensure it is prepared to host matches.
Over the years, the PCB has used the PSL as a platform to revive international cricket in the country. The ball got rolling in 2017 when the Gadaffi Stadium hosted the final. In the following season, four games were held across Karachi and Lahore.
Earlier this year, the final eight games were scheduled to be played in Lahore and Karachi. However, they were all moved to Karachi following political tensions with India, which shares a border with Lahore.
The 2017 PSL final paved way for an ICC-approved World XI to tour Pakistan for three T20Is, while West Indies and Sri Lanka have also toured the country to play T20Is since. Prior to that, only Zimbabwe visited Pakistan in 2015 for three ODIs and two T20Is since the 2009 terror attack, and while the games themselves went off without a hitch, a a bomb explosion two kilometres from the stadium killed one policeman.
While the World XI series saw an influx of high-profile players, including a strong South African contingent led by Faf du Plessis and Hashim Amla, as well as Tamim Iqbal, Thisara Perera and current Australian Test captain Tim Paine, many others high-profile players have been reluctant to tour Pakistan in the past.
To PCB’s credit, they managed to convince all the foreign players who featured in the 2018 season to tour Pakistan. Among them was Shane Watson, who had earlier expressed his reservations of playing in the country.
During the meeting, the franchises touched upon various other issues, including reworking their 10-year contracts with the PCB, seeking perpetuity rights, abolishing bank guarantees, and pegging dollar rate on payments and taxation.
Since it was an informal meeting, all these matters will be taken up when the PSL’s general council meets later this month, with a working group constituted to deliberate matters.
The final of the 2020 Pakistan Super League (PSL) final will be held at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium, according to samaa news.
The publication has quoted its sources as saying that Lahore would get to host 11 matches in next year’s PSL, while nine matches will be staged at Karachi’s National Stadium.
Lahore will also get to host the final, according to Samaa, while some fixtures could also be assigned to stadia in Rawalpindi and Multan.
It is pertinent to mention here that the last two PSL finals had taken place in Karachi. Lahore has hosted the winner-takes-all fixture just once in 2016.
The month-long PSL 5, Samaareports, will begin on Feb 20 and conclude on March 22. The player draft is to take place in November this year.
The 2020 PSL will be the first time that the tournament is staged in Pakistan in its entirety. The PCB’s flagship T20 tournament was played completely in UAE in its inaugural edition. Since then, the board has gradually moved it back home.
Seven teams to compete in 2020 edition
ISLAMABAD: One more team will be added to the Pakistan Super League (PSL) family in 2020 raising the total strength to seven, confirmed Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Najam Sethi in an interview.
Six teams will again be seen in action in the fourth edition next year and then the strength of teams going up in 2020. “The city that makes the highest bid will be given the rights for the seventh team. At this point we don’t want to hurry up things rather than concentrating on making the PSL more formidable and eye catching. It is where we would be in a position to get best deal for the seventh team.”
Sethi recalled that Karachi Kings were sold out for around Rs250 million at the outset of the league. “Following its two years of success, we sold Multan Sultans’ rights for over Rs500 million. So once we would be in a position to hold majority of matches in Pakistan, I am sure we would get even bigger amount for the seventh team.”

The Pakistan Super League might be coming home for good as the Pakistan Cricket Board and all six franchises have agreed to play the fifth edition of the tournament in its entirety in Pakistan.
Karachi, Lahore, Multan and Rawalpindi have been chalked as the four cities in which the tournament will take place this time around.
Lahore, home to the PCB’s headquarters, is set to host 13 of the total 34 games including the final itself. This year’s matches in Lahore were all shifted to Karachi due to political tensions with India.
