This event is part of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) efforts to highlight the commercial strength of the league and its growing global fan base, especially in preparation for the auction of two new franchises on January 6, 2026.
Star-Studded Lineup for the Roadshow
The roadshow in New York will feature six leading cricketers from the Pakistan men’s team: Shan Masood (Test and T20I captain), Salman Ali Agha (T20I captain), along with Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Saim Ayub, and Saud Shakeel.
These players will be part of the roadshow, where they will engage with media, fans, and potential investors, further raising the profile of the PSL.
Expanding the PSL
The PSL, which began in 2016 with five franchises, is set for its biggest expansion yet. The addition of two new teams in the 2026 season will bring the total number of franchises to eight.
This expansion will mark the first major restructuring of the PSL since its inception, creating new opportunities for both investors and players.
With its rapidly growing following and commercial potential, the PSL is positioning itself as a key player in the global cricket market.
Strategic Push for Growth
The PCB’s international roadshow strategy is designed to strengthen the PSL’s commercial and global standing.
By reaching out to international investors and stakeholders, the board aims to highlight the league’s long-term growth potential, ensuring its continued success and sustainability.
The roadshow in New York represents just one of the many steps in this broader effort, with the PCB seeking to attract more international attention ahead of the crucial auction in early 2026.
