PSL 2026 Squads: Complete Player List For All Teams After Pakistan Super League Auction

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026 auction wrapped up on February 11 at the Lahore Expo Centre. This auction finalised the PSL 2026 squads for an expanded season, which includes three new franchises — Hyderabad Houston Kingsmen and Sialkot Stallionz. All franchises signed a nice blend of retaining players, direct signings, and competitive bidding during the PSL 2026 auction.

Franchises kept players in the Platinum, Diamond, Gold, and Silver/Emerging categories, while players who were not retained entered the auction pool. Several prominent overseas stars, including Steve Smith, Moeen Ali, Devon Conway, Mustafizur Rahman, and Marnus Labuschagne, joined through direct signings.

The PCB set four base price ranges for bidding, and teams were finalised within the limit of 16 to 20 players. Each team must include at least two Under-23 players and three to four overseas players in every match. Player contracts will last for two seasons, with limits on retentions ahead of the 2027 mega auction.

Here’s a breakdown of the players acquired during the PSL 2026 auction, along with the confirmed rosters for the season.
