PSL 2023 Retained Players List [PSL 8]

PSL’s regular season ends in March, and the process for the next season’s draft begins in November. Each franchise could retain a maximum of eight players. All Team Performance is updated on the PSL 8 Points Table.

In the first official announcement, either the pick order in the next draft or the renewed categories of local players will be announced. In the pick order, there is a great deal of luck involved. 

A random draw or a similar activity is used to determine the pick order for the first round of the draft (first Platinum picks). A ‘special statistical tool’ determines the pick order for the remaining 17 rounds.

In the meantime, the categories of local players from the previous season have been renewed. Voting is conducted to renew the contract. Each franchisee’s representative votes for the categories of local players, except for their own franchise’s players. 

After this has been completed, several PCB officials will review the renewed categories and then finalize them. At this point, teams begin to consider possible trades and retentions. Soon after this, the draft list will be released. 

Teams begin trading their players as soon as this list is released. Trades can be made through the trade window or on a draft day.
