The global roadshow of Pakistan Super League (PSL) was organized at the prestigious Lord’s in London. However, this show organized for the promotion of PSL made headlines for some other reason. Veteran bowler Wasim Akram, who was present on the stage, suddenly took a humorous dig at the Indian Premier League (IPL). That too in the presence of Babar Azam, Mohsin Naqvi and many current players.

Comment on IPL amid promotion of PSL

PCB organized two big sessions before the 2026 season. The first session included PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, Wasim Akram, Rameez Raja and PSL CEO. In the second part, Babar Azam, Haris Rauf and other star players came on stage. Meanwhile, Akram laughingly said that IPL lasts so long that “children grow up, the league never ends.” He compared the calendar of IPL which lasts for more than two months with the compact format of PSL which lasts for about 35-40 days.

‘Small leagues are better’

Akram claimed that foreign players also prefer short-term leagues because long-term availability is difficult for them. He said, “35-40 days are perfect for everyone. More than this, everyone gets bored, including me!” Giving the example of Australia’s Big Bash League (BBL), he said that BBL was also long in the beginning, but later it was condensed in less time. Because both the spectators and the players were being affected.

PSL bowlers are much better

Akram made another claim that foreign players praise the level of bowling in PSL. According to him, PSL is about “quality, not quantity.” He said that many international players consider PSL to be number 1 in terms of bowling talent. However, he also admitted that IPL is still the number-1 league in the world in terms of popularity and business. He placed PSL at “second place”, but said that the league can reach a bigger level in the future.

PCB Chairman’s vision

Mohsin Naqvi said in the roadshow that the target has been set to make PSL the biggest league in the world. Rameez Raja described PSL as a “career-changing platform” for young Pakistani players. This roadshow of PSL was very successful at the global level.

Faf du Plessis, who has played for four teams including RCB and Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League, will not be a part of the IPL 2026 auction. He confirmed through a post on social media that he will not participate in the mini auction to be held on December 16. Leaving IPL, he has decided to play in Pakistan Super League (PSL 2026).

41-year-old Faf du Plessis issued a statement on social media and wrote, “After playing 14 years in the IPL, I have decided that I will not be a part of the auction this time. This is a big decision.” Du Plessis further said that it was his good fortune to play with different players in different teams.

I am not saying goodbye to IPL…

Faf du Plessis further wrote in his statement, “14 years is a very long time. I am proud of what I have achieved during this period. India has a special place in my heart and this is not goodbye to the IPL. You will see me again.” Du Plessis also wrote that he is excited for the hospitality in Pakistan.

Faf du Plessis has captained RCB, while played for Delhi Capitals last season. He has scored 4773 runs in his IPL career of 154 matches, he also scored 39 half-centuries in his career. He described participating in PSL 2026 as a new challenge. Let us tell you that Du Plessis has played for 2 teams in PSL till now. He has played a total of 6 matches for Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi.

‘Nothing changes overnight, I don’t have the answer’, why did KL Rahul say this in the press conference? Read the main points

The dispute between Pakistan Super League (PSL) and Multan Sultans franchise owner Ali Khan Tareen is continuously increasing. On one hand, a legal notice has been sent by the PCB, while on the other hand, Tareen is openly taunting the board. Now the matter has become so bad that Tareen has even accused the PSL management of ‘ghosting’ and warned of legal action. Tareen has given a statement that no response has been received to the email. Therefore, I am forced to make everything public.

Ali Khan Tareen made serious allegations against PCB and PSL management by posting a post on social media platform X on Wednesday. He says that for the last one month, he has been continuously emailing asking for valuation and renewal letter of his franchise, but is not getting any response from PSL.

He wrote that all the other teams have received renewal letters, but talks with Multan Sultans are being postponed again and again. Tareen claims that he had also sent a reply in response to the legal notice, but the board remained silent on that too.

Tareen wrote in the post, “PSL management is not even listening to us. Neither the response to the email, nor to the legal letter, nor to the letter sent to the chairman. Other franchises are also asking why Multan is being kept out of the process. In such a situation, everything has to be made public.”

‘If this ghosting continues, legal action will be mandatory’

Tareen further warned that if the silence of PSL management continues like this, then they will be forced to take the legal route. He sarcastically said that this matter could have been solved only over tea and biscuits, but ego made it difficult.

PCB preparing to add two new teams

Meanwhile, PCB is preparing to add two new franchises in the league. For this, six cities – Hyderabad, Sialkot, Faisalabad, Muzaffarabad, Gilgit and Rawalpindi have been shortlisted. The new owners will get a chance to buy the team for the next ten years.

The atmosphere of PSL is more tense

This ongoing dispute between Tareen and PCB is making the atmosphere of PSL more tense. Multan Sultans has been one of the most successful teams in the last few seasons. In such a situation, the clash between the management and the franchise is not good news for the image of the league.

Pakistan-Afghanistan War: Air strike has taken place in Paktika province of Afghanistan. This attack was carried out by Pakistan on the late night of 17 October 2025, in which three local cricketers of Afghanistan cricket were killed. Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) is saddened by the death of its players Kabir, Sibgatullah and Haroon. Condemning this attack, ACB has refused to participate in the triangular series played in Pakistan. This series was to be held between Pakistan, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka from 17 to 29 November. Along with this, Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan has also decided to withdraw from Pakistan Super League.

Afghanistan Board’s action on PAK

Afghanistan Cricket Board has withdrawn its name from the series to be held at the end of November. This triangular series in Pakistan was to be played in Lahore and Rawalpindi. But ACB has taken this decision against Pakistan on the death of players.

Rashid Khan breaks ties with PSL

Afghanistan cricket team captain Rashid Khan is seen playing in Pakistan Super League (PSL). But after this attack, Rashid Khan has indicated to withdraw from PSL team ‘Lahore Qalandars’. Rashid Khan has removed the name of Lahore Qalandars from his bio on the account of social media platform X. Rashid plays for Gujarat Titans in IPL and the name of the franchise of this league played in India is included in the bio of this player.

Rashid Khan has paid tribute to the citizens of Afghanistan who died in the airstrike. Along with this, the decision of Afghanistan Cricket Board has also been supported. Rashid has written that he is standing with the people of his country at this time.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of civilian lives in the recent Pakistani aerial strikes on Afghanistan. A tragedy that claimed the lives of women, children, and aspiring young cricketers who dreamed of representing their nation on the world stage.

It is absolutely immoral and…

Which Cricket Board is more rich bcci or pcb: The final match of Asia Cup 2025 is being played between India and Pakistan. For the first time in the 41 -year history of the Asia Cup, the teams of India and Pakistan are hitting the finals. In this tournament, there is a war between the teams of both countries as well as the cricket board. There is also a round of allegations between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). But do you know that BCCI has much more money than PCB. Let us know about the annual income of the cricket board of both countries.

BCCI-richest cricket board

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is not only in Asia, but is the richest cricket board in the whole world. According to media reports, the estimated value of BCCI is close to $ 2.25 billion, which sits up to Rs 18,760 crore when converted into Indian currency. Cricket is one of the most popular sports in India.

The highest rhetoric for BCCI comes from the Indian Premier League (IPL). BCCI earns a lot from the broadcasting rights, sponsorship and ticket cell of this league. While the annual earnings of BCCI used to be close to Rs 3,906 crore in 2019, by 2024 it has come to Rs 7,988 crore. In the last five years, the BCCI has doubled its earnings.

How much money does PCB have?

Talking about Pakistan Cricket Board, PCB is called the richest cricket board at number four in the world, but PCB does not have much money than the Board of Control for Cricket in India. The estimated value of PCB is close to $ 55 million, which is close to Rs 458 crore when converted into Indian currency. In Pakistan, like the IPL, there is a Pakistan Super League (PSL), whose broadcasting brings money to the board.

Difference in earnings of BCCI and PCB?

There is a difference of land in the earnings of BCCI and PCB. While the value of BCCI is more than Rs 18,000 crore. At the same time, the value of PCB is only up to Rs 450 crore. This can also be gauged from the earnings of players of India and Pakistan. In the PSL, the main players get as much as the money in India.

Pakistan star player Babar Azam was purchased in PSL for $ 2,20,000, which is equal to Rs 1 crore 95 lakh in Indian currency. At the same time, Punjab Kings bought player Priyansh Arya for Rs 3.8 crore.

Psl vs ipl news: Pakistan is not desisting from its antics. Pakistan repeatedly equals its league Pakistan Super League (PSL) to the Indian Premier League (IPL) and eats the mouth. Still, their arrogance is not decreasing. After colliding with PSL 2025 from IPL 2025, now there can be conflict between PSL 2026 and IPL 2026.

Looking at the 2026 T20 World Cup, Pakistan may have to make changes in PSL 2026. If there is no change, then he will confront the IPL. Let us know that 2026 T20 World Cup will be played in India and Sri Lanka in 2026 February-March. In such a situation, just like this year, PSL can be held once again in April-May. This is the time when IPL dominates global cricket.

This year, IPL and PSL conflicted due to the 2025 Champions Trophy. Because of this, Pakistan cricket suffered commercial and competitively damage, as many foreign players chose IPL contract instead of PSL opportunities. The reasons for this were clear. IPL offers more money as well as a platform where the best players of the world compete.

The most important thing to tell that in PSL 2025, the same players were played, who were not purchased in IPL 2025. Then when the opportunity came, South Africa’s Corbin Bosch rejected the IPL by rejecting the PSL contract. Now if the PSL collides with the IPL once again, then the franchises there will have to suffer strong loss.

By the way, Pakistan can organize PSL in December-January. At that time, the window is empty for PSL, but if Pakistan does not do it and once again collides with the IPL, then it can also be considered a conspiracy.

Pakistan men’s cricket team’s upcoming schedule

July-August 2025: West Indies tour (3 ODI and 3 T20)
November 2025: Domestic Series against Sri Lanka (3 ODI, 3 T20)
December 2025 – January 2026: Domestic Program (Pentangular Cup)
February 2026: Domestic T20 Series (3 matches) against Australia
February-March 2026: ICC T20 World Cup (India and Sri Lanka)
March 2026: Domestic ODI series against Australia (3 matches)
March-April 2026: Tour of Bangladesh (2 Tests, 3 ODI, 3 T20)
April-May 2026: Proposed window for PSL 11 (final decision pending)
Pray -May 2026: Zimbabwe’s visit to Pakistan (3 ODIs, 3 T20 – can be resolved)

Psl 2025 sikandar raza golden iPhone: It was a few days ago when hair dryers were being distributed for match winning performance in Pakistan Super League. Now the story of Zimbabwe’s legendary cricketer Sikander Raza has won the hearts of the people. In the final of PSL 2025, he robbed the Mahfil by scoring 22 runs in 7 balls for Lahore Kalandars. He has been gifted the Golden iPhone for a great cameo innings. Sikander Raza herself would not have thought that he would be picking up the PSL trophy after 24 hours after the defeat against England in the Test match.

A video has surfaced on social media, in which first Alexander Raza was presented a gift, but when he opened the box, there was nothing in it. He was pranked with him, but when the second box came, Alexander Raza became happy after seeing the golden iPhone kept in it. Let us know that Pakistan’s economy has crocused and after the operation vermilion, it has become worse. In this video, Shaheen Afridi and Fakhar Zaman are also seen, who played for Lahore Kalandars in PSL 2025.

Those things have not spent much time when Karachi Kings gave James Vinci a hair dryer as a gift. At that time, Karachi Kings and Pakistan Super League were made fun of. Now due to Alexander Raza getting the golden iPhone, people are making fun of Pakistan because the situation like starvation has started flourishing there.

Travel from England to Lahore, then won PSL

England vs. Zimbabwe Test match started in Birmingham from 22 May, which England won by a margin of innings and 45 runs on the third day. In such a situation, Alexander Raza traveled from England to Lahore within 24 hours. During this, he had dinner in Birmingham, had breakfast in Dubai and lunch in Abu Dhabi. Where Zimbabwe had to lose the Test match by an innings and 45 runs, but only 24 hours after that, Alexander Raza won the PSL 2025 title of Lahore Kalandars’s team.

PSL: Pakistan often compares India to army, sometimes technology and sometimes in cricket. However, he does not stand ahead of India. Now take Pakistan Super League (PSL) only. Pakistan started by copying the Pakistan Super League IPL. However, PSL could never achieve popularity like IPL. This time too, in the final, Lahore Kalandars won the title for the third time by defeating Quetta Gladiators, but more discussion is being done about this victory, there are more talk of prize money found in PSL, which tells the economic situation of Pakistan.

PSL’s prize money is nothing in front of IPL

The PSL final has been played on 24 May 2025, in which Lahore Kalandars chased 202 runs and defeated Quetta Gladiators by 6 wickets to win the PSL title for the third time. Only Rs 4.25 crore was given in prize for winning Lahore Kalandars. On the other hand, if we talk about IPL, then this league 2008 started. 18 years ago, when this tournament took place for the first time, at that time Rajasthan Royals were given Rs 4.80 crore. That is, Pakistan’s prize money has not reached even the 18 -year -old standard of India. Not only this, in the Mega auction of the IPL, only many unkapped players are sold in more than the entire prize money of PCL.

Such a low prize money of PSL states that Pakistan’s financial condition is not good at all. Today the country is in debt and seems to be constantly pleading with the IMF.

Alexander Raza became hero for Lahore Kalandars

Talking about the match, the final match was played between Lahore Kalandars and Quetta Gladiators, in which Zimbabwe’s all -rounder Sikander Raza reached England just 10 minutes before the start of the match and joined the team and played a decisive role in winning the team.

Lahore Qalandars vs Quetta Gladiators Final 2025: The final match of Pakistan Super League season 10 was played on Sunday, 25 May between Quetta Gladiators and Lahore Kalandars. Batting first, Quetta scored a huge score of 201 runs. The title match went to the last over and Lahore won the match by 6 wickets with 1 ball remaining. The Lahore team became the champion under the captaincy of Shaheen Shah Afridi, this is his third PSL title.

Quetta Gladiators player Hassan Nawaz was adjudged the best player of the tournament, while Kusal Perera became the Player of the Match in the final. He had scored an unbeaten innings of 62 runs in 31 balls, with the help of which the team was able to achieve the target of 202. Earlier, the partnership between Muhammad Naeem (46) and Abdula Shafiq (41) gave the team a good start.

Faheem Ashraf proved to be the most expensive among Quetta’s bowlers, spending 49 runs in 3.5 overs. Khurram Shahzad also spent 46 runs from an economy of 11.50, Mohammad Aamir conceded 41 runs in 4 overs.

Shaheen Shah Afridi’s relative is a terrorist!

Lahore Kalandars captain Shaheen Shah was a relative terrorist of Afridi, who was killed by BSF. However, this relationship was not of him but his father -in -law and former Pakistani captain Shahid Afridi. He was a cousin of Shahid, a terrorist named Shakib, was the uncle of Shaheen’s wife.

Shakib was killed by BSF (Border Security Force) in an encounter in Anantnag on 7 September 2003. BSF described Shakib as Harkat-ul-Ansar’s battalion commander. It was also revealed that he seemed to be Shahid’s cousin. Then Afridi had said that the Pathan families are very spread in Pakistan and they have forgotten many of their cousins.

From the Pahalgam terror attack and the then the airplane in Pakistan to the ceasefire agreement, Shahid Afridi continued to spread a verbal attack on India and spread his propaganda.

Lahore Kalandars received prize money on becoming champion

After winning the PSL title, Lahore Kalandars received US $ 5 lakh i.e. Rs 1.25 crore. Runner-up Quetta Gladiators received 2 lakh US dollars i.e. about Rs 1 crore 70 lakh.
