As the preparations for PSL 9 gain momentum, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is witnessing a significant surge in foreign players expressing their availability for the tournament.

The PSL draft is set to unfold at the prestigious National Cricket Academy in Lahore on Wednesday, December 13, 2023.
Marking the tentative schedule for PSL 9 from February 8 to March 24, 2024, the league has completed the process of renewing categories for local players, with upgrades for nine players finalized on November 10.
The registration window for foreign players opened on October 25, drawing interest from top players worldwide, while the trade and retention window is currently active.
Amidst speculations of the UAE and South Africa potentially hosting the initial matches of PSL 9 due to elections in Pakistan, most franchises are advocating for the entire event to take place within Pakistan, emphasizing their commitment to a homegrown cricket spectacle.
