According to sources, the PCB is also considering a draft system as well as direct player contracts, which would allow franchises to sign two foreign players outside the draft.
The 34-year-old Joe Root is known for his outstanding performances in international cricket and has recently become one of the greatest batsmen of the modern era by completing more than 22,000 international runs.
It is worth mentioning that the 11th edition of PSL will be played from March 26 to May 3, 2026, in which eight teams will participate for the first time.
