PSL10 player draft moved to Lahore from Gwadar

LAHORE: The Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10 player draft will now be held in Lahore instead of picturesque port city of Gwadar, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Tuesday.

According to the PCB, the PSL 10 player draft will now take place on 13 January at Huzoori Bagh, Lahore fort in Lahore. The event has been moved from the earlier announced venue, Gwadar, due to unforeseen logistical challenges.

The PSL 2025 Trophy Tour scheduled in March will now feature Gwadar as a key location on its route across Pakistan.

Earlier, the PCB had announced Gwadar as a host city for the PSL 10 player draft which was initially scheduled for January 11, 2025.
