Pakistan Cricket Board Plans 'Drauction' System for PSL Ahead of 2026 Season

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) plans to introduce a new 'drauction' system for the Pakistan Super League (PSL), combining a draft for local players and an auction for overseas players. This move aims to replace the current draft system, inspired by the Indian Premier League's auction success. While some franchises support the auction to compete for unsold IPL players, others worry about financial constraints under the existing USD 1.3 million player purse. The PSL's 11th season is set to begin on March 26.
