Few possible clauses which PCB can add in the PSL draft and team selection

[Titan24]

There are few potential clauses which PCB can put in the draft system. Yes its a commercial league but, it is under the umbrella of Pakistan cricket and needs to have a certain balance. Some of the pretty basic clauses wont impact the commercial value of the league in anyway but, potentially will allow it to contribute more to Pak cricket.

1. There should be only one player allowed to be selected each year from a player development program solely, if a team wants. Others need to have certain number of domestic or atleast junior level matches in last 2 years under their belt. Rauf and Dilbar were decent products and in turn even domestic teams picked them giving them that domestic exposure but, then some players like Mohammad Faizan and Maz Khan have no or very little domestic or junior level domestic cricket exposure in their careers let alone in last 2 years so they shouldnt be allowed to be selected.

2. Further the national captain of the team should be captaining in whichever franchise he plays in.

3. Any player who hasnt played international T20 shoudlnt be allowed to captain any franchise. (Ruling out Sohail Akhtar and even Shan Masood)

These are few I can think of. Other points are welcome.

1. Only 1 PDP Player
2. All top 5 bowlers and top 5 batsman of Quaid e azam trophy selected.
3. 1 Emerging should be from that Province (so that we see Baloch players in Quetta Gladiators and not Karachi Gladiators)
4. All players in Shaheens to be picked

I think these two might not be feasible as you dont want to take that much freedom away from franchises by forcing them to pick certain players but, definitely the criteria for selection should be well defined so that franchises dont start picking random players.

 

[wajid]

A larger prize money for table toppers, so there is some incentive for selecting best talent and options instead of ......

 

[Finisher]

Fine sides that pick emerging players in their 11 without giving them a fair chance

What’s the issue we are trying to resolve?

 

[Markhor]

One - player participation dependent on having played 5 FC matches minimum.

 

[b.lesner]

One - player participation dependent on having played 5 FC matches minimum.

No too hard

Need to have 1 player from that province thats important that forces franchise to work in that province. For e.g No baloch player is in Quetta oh im sorry Karachi Gladiators.

 

[Finisher]

Top 4 in all teams have to have 2 Pakistani players

Issue have been explained in the post as well. It is to keep PSL contributing to Pak cricket as well by creating a balance between commercialism, freedom of franchises and minimizing the selections of random players. There is no way Mohammad Faizan can get selected over maybe someone like Hammad Azam, Babar Azam (National captain) doesnt get to captain a team while Sohail Akhtar is captaining T20 franchise. These are some things which shouldnt be happening and preventing them should be a pretty smooth thing.

There should be a minimum criteria for selecting players and giving captaincy to players. Yes PSL is a commercial league but, is under the umbrella of PCB whose job is to keep Pakistan cricket a priority. Too many players from development programs who havent played any domestic cricket doesnt serve any purpose. Yes its a good initiative by the teams but, only one such unknown player should be allowed in the squad other than 2,3.

5 FC matches in last 2 years maybe. Definitely a good suggestion and not too difficult to implement.

 

[Titan24]

Top 4 in all teams have to have 2 Pakistani players

Or maybe atleast one U-27 or U-25 local batsman in the top 4 with less than 5 international matches to promote upcoming local batting talent. Other than one emerging category player in the XI. As local batting talent needs more exposure in the league.

 

[Kaddy]

Mandatory Clause no.1 : No PSL team will be allowed to hire Aqib Javed as coach or in any other role i.e. mentor, consultant etc.

 

[Shazzam]

Every Test batsmen should be banned from PSL. Unless there strike rate is high enough.

Apart from the first one, the other two are practically useless.

The league is just getting on its feet, these rules and regulations will just bring down the quality of the league itself. This is a place where refined products are given a platform to show what they are capable of, not some place for 16-year olds to take a field trip.

Most of the rules I have seen in this thread will do nothing but destroy the PSL. It is a league, and frankly, we only need a few more players to have a perfectly complete and competitive T20 team, so it makes no sense to do all of this. Give these players chances in domestic T20 leagues, not the PSL. If you implement these rules, the franchises will pull out of the PSL. You can't dictate who they pick and who they don't. The rules which exist right now are perfectly fine.

Agreed.

Bangladesh tried something similar, albeit much more micromanagement and demanding and it backfired.

How will Babar becoming captain and Sohail Akhtar not being captain will bring down the quality of league?

When you put so many restrictions on what franchises can and can't do, you are ultimately spoiling their plans and making them resent the administrative authorities within the league.

The idea is to allow our franchises to develop teams and have top quality sides face each other to improve the skillsets of our own domestic players.

Sohail Khan being captain isn't murdering anyone, it's a decision taken by Lahore Qalandars and it's working out for them.

There's no need to be so demanding of the franchises who are trying to create a brand of cricket which fans will come to adore.

As I said in my opening post, I dont think these are too many restrictions and would also prefer the restrictions are kept limited. However, other than one emerging player in playing XI there is absolutely no other restriction at the moment.

I get your point that league should be allowed to flourish and I have no problem with that but, at the same time balance between contribution to Pak cricket and complete freedom to do let whatever franchises want needs to be improved in my opinion. There are certain rules in other leagues as well at the backend if I am not wrong.

Look at the PSL right now, and look at our national team.

We aren't an awful T20 team, we're actually a pretty good team. There are only about two or three things we need to fix on the team, and everything else is good to go.

We have enough talent in the PSL to fill those holes, so from that standpoint, the PSL is doing perfectly fine.

 

[Canistani Hero]

Franchises will revolt, they are losing money as is, as much as I loathe people like Maaz and Faizan getting a chance in PSL while people like Mubasir and Umar Khan are ignored - the franchises enjoy the freedom of picking whoever they want. Quetta blooded Azam Khan despite all the negativity..

 

[Hasan123]

These ideas are really great. They are unlikely to happen as PCB doesn't understand modern day cricket hence our cricket is in the mess it is right now.
