The Pakistan Super League (PSL) is in its ninth edition. The Pakistan Super League (PSL 2024) is a men’s T20 cricket league contested by six city-based franchise teams. The league was founded in 2015 by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The first edition was played in 2016 with Islamabad United winning the inaugural edition. Instead of operating as an association of independently owned teams, the league is a single entity in which each franchise is owned and controlled by investors.
