What changes would you like to see for PSL 9?

[Colorblind Genius]

Is there anything you'd like to see implemented for next season? Things that should be scrapped or things that should be added.

We will compile a list of things with generally the most consensus to send to PCB.

Only one.
Minimum boundary size of 80 meters in all directions.

This will separate boys from men.

This boundary debate, my view

1. Yes there should be some minimum standard but to make them extra big is not needed
2. PSL is to make money for all concerned. If the number of boundaries being hit increases interest then I am all for it

If our worry is that we are not producing worldclass six hitters then PSL is not the place to check that. Of course it also means that we stop considering performances in this tournament as the only yardstick for selecting players for our international side.

From an interview with Najam Sethi:

“Many people have approached us to take PSL to USA"

“We will do an internal debate on this [introducing auction model in PSL]"

As per a media report:

In a meeting on Friday, PCB presented the idea of moving PSL to UAE in the future.

PCB based their case on extra expenditures on security and lack of crowd attention on different venues in the country, and the belief that more foreign cricketers will come to play PSL if it is played in UAE.

The franchises opposed this idea and were adamant on continuing the country's only franchise league at home.

Also franchises didn't agree on the addition of two more teams in the league. They believe that players' pool is already limited.

PCB also shared that PSL 8 earned good profits which will be shared with the franchises in due course.

In leagues like NHL or NBA, there are no such thing as categories. Young guys are drafted in to the team only once. After they have been drafted, if the team does not need them, they get thrown to the free agency. In free agency any team can approach and sign you up.

Also, there is no release cause aswell. If an NHL team has 20 players, they are not bound to release there players every season. They can keep the same team for 10 years if they want to.

I think PSL needs to eliminate player drafting. It has been 9 years now, and we should now allow franchises to be able to develop as a dynasty where teams are not built for one season but for 5-6 years.

There needs to be a free agency and drafting of players should only be done once in a players career for both local and international. Once a player has been drafted he can go to fee agency market but in draft.

Also, players category make 0 sense. You cannot categorize a player. Haider Ali was a platinum player in one of the seasons or maybe diamond.

I would like to see Babar bat at number 3

None of the cringe adverts for head & shoulders etc.

 

[Kianig89]

A game will be cut off but how about old school SFs where 1v4 and 2v3 rather than US playoffs

I would like to see Karachi Kings winning matches in this season.
