The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially announced the base prices of players registered for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 11 player auction, scheduled to be held on February 11.
A total of 879 local and international cricketers from around the world have registered for the landmark auction. The list features players from Afghanistan, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, England and Sri Lanka, with base prices ranging between PKR 60 lakh and PKR 4.2 crore.
Several prominent international stars have entered the highest base price category of PKR 4.2 crore. The top bracket includes Afghanistan’s Fazal Haq Farooqi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Australia’s David Warner, and New Zealand all-rounders Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell. South Africa’s Rilee Rossouw, England’s James Vince, and Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka have also opted for the top tier.
Big names registered for PSL 11 auction
Among Pakistani players, Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha, Mohammad Amir, Haris Rauf, Fakhar Zaman and Faheem Ashraf headline the premium category, highlighting a strong domestic presence at the auction.
The second-highest base price slab, starting at PKR 2.2 crore, features notable international names such as Australia’s Usman Khawaja and Peter Siddle, New Zealand’s Colin Munro, England’s Jason Roy and South African veteran Imran Tahir. Pakistani players listed in this category include Iftikhar Ahmed, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Saud Shakeel and Shan Masood.
Under the revised auction model, each franchise has been allocated a purse of PKR 450 million to assemble their squads, along with an additional PKR 55 million earmarked for direct signings. All franchises, including newly added teams Hyderabad and Sialkot Stallionz, have confirmed their retentions and direct signings ahead of the auction.
However, Peshawar Zalmi suffered a setback after their direct signing Rahmanullah Gurbaz withdrew from the upcoming season.
Meanwhile, Multan Sultans enter the auction under unique circumstances. With no current ownership, the franchise will participate with a full purse, having retained no players and made no direct signings. Notably, the Multan franchise is set to be sold through a separate auction in Lahore on February 9, just two days before the PSL 11 player auction.
