The Pakistan Super League (PSL) is a Pakistani T20 league that takes place every year in February and March. PSL, like the IPL, is made up of franchise-based teams featuring players from all around the world. The 7th round of franchise-based cricket will take place this year. This year, there is a long list of players who have signed multi-million dollar contracts with the PSL. The new season matches began in 2022, in January and February of this year. The tournament consists of 17 matches in which all of the teams will compete. These matches were held in Lahore and Karachi stadiums. The finals were held in Lahore at the Gaddafi Stadium. The matches were played in a double round-robin style, including playoffs.

Every year, the PSL holds player drafts in which local and international players are auctioned off to various teams. But here's the catch:

All PSL players are separated into category contracts; the top players are assigned to the Platinum contract, which comes with a specific wage.
