The pick order for the draft of the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League has been revealed.
The PSL 2025 draft will be held on January 11 in the port city of Gwadar located in Pakistan’s largest province of Balochistan. The draft has been scheduled later than its usual date as the tournament has reportedly moved away from the regular February-March window due to Pakistan being the host of the Champions Trophy.
In the platinum category, Lahore Qalandars will have the first pick in the opening round followed by Karachi Kings. Quetta Gladiators, Peshawar Zalmi, Multan Sultans and Islamabad United will pick third, fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively.
Likewise, the Diamond and Gold categories also allow three picks per franchise. Karachi Kings will make the first move in the opening round in the Diamond category, followed by Multans Sultans in the second and Islamabad United in the third. In the Gold category, Peshawar Zalmi will open the first round, with Quetta Gladiators making the second pick and Multan Sultans the third.
The Silver Category features five picks by each side. The Emerging Category will have two picks per team, while the Supplementary category will have four.
