PSL Considers 'Drauction' for 11th Season
The Pakistan Super League (PSL) is thinking about a new way to sign players for its 11th season.
They are considering a mix of a draft and an auction, which they call a 'drauction.'
This is because they are adding two new teams from Hyderabad and Sialkot.
The current system is a draft, but some teams want an auction.
A meeting was held, and a smaller group will discuss it more before making a final decision.
The season is set to start on March 26, 2026.
PSL is considering a hybrid 'drauction' system for player signings in its 11th season.
The league is expanding with two new teams from Hyderabad and Sialkot.
Current franchises are divided between retaining the traditional draft and adopting an auction-based model.
A meeting was held, and a working group was formed to further discuss the issue.
The PSL season is scheduled to start on March 26, 2026.
