PSL makes history with first-ever Player Auction as eight franchise rosters completed

Sialkot going after Aussie players. Bought the rejuvenated Peter Siddle.

Though I'm surprised they picked Turner at 4.2Cr
 
What’s Peshawar Zalmi waiting for?

Mahira Khan to enter the auction?
 
Why was Irfan Khan Niazi dropped by Pakistan national cricket team?
He’s a clutch player and a gun fielder.
Any takers for him in the Pakistan Super League auction?
 
I like Amad Butt. I think he's a decent option.

Specially with the amount of players that have debut for Pakistan & have been given lengthy runs, Amad Butt wouldn't be a bad option.
 
Time Paine effect Sialkot after Aussie players ,
Zampa to Karachi is a massive signing
 
Why is tanvir Ahmed not in auction . Could easily go to PZ for 10 lakh
 
Good to see Aussie players getting picked in PSL, though disappointed that McGurk went Unsold, a young player should have been taken.
Spencer Johnson is a direct signing to Gladiators

Khwaja should have been picked. That's a miss

There's also a lot of room of improvement. They should ensure that at least there's the picture of the player when they enter the auction/draft.

It just looks so shoddy that the player has entered the auction and there's not even a picture of them.
 
Just get Mallika Sagar to do this auction. Zainab and that Hijab lady combined have made so many mistakes. Very amateurish
 
Abdul Subhan & Ali Raza at Zalmi. Both emerging. Hopefully both get a chance to play.
 
Just checked Cricket Australia (reddit) & they have zero interest in the PSL auction. When Smith, Payne, & even Labuschagne were selected, they had posts & interest but now it seems no one is following up or tracking the progress.

When the entire auctions a shambles, happening mid WC and on a weekday, who's going to be interested.
 
Quetta also should sell their franchise to one of the people who were bidding so heavily for Rawalpindi. I see one of them sitting together and the Nadeem Omar also tried to say something but stopped short of a joint partnership.

Uncle should just let it go and see what the new generation is capable to do.
 
Deepinder Singh Airee is an aboslute gun player and should be selected and no one has even an idea who he is.

Sometimes I do not understand rich people.

Binura Fernando is better than Shaheen by a country mile. No bids. No interest.

Scratching my head tbh.

Who cares?

Please do not give such replies because no matter how I reply to it, this will sound rude and harsh.

PSL has international foreign rights & the best way to grow the league and do economically well is by having attraction of fans in other territories. If hard core cricket fans of a nation are not interested in the first ever PSL auction where many of their country cricket stars are listed, the ordinary casual will have 0 interest in watching the game hence no reason for any Australian broadcaster to pick up PSL.

The entire point of the auction is also to raise the profile of PSL and get fan engagement from all over the world.

So yes, I care, the PCB cares, Walee Tech that bought foreign rights of PSL cares, & every one posting in this forum who is linked to cricketing eco system has a stake in it.
