Why a supplementary draft was needed for PSL 8?
A supplementary draft was necessary for teams to name replacements for the players who will miss the upcoming Pakistan Super League season partially or completely due to national team duties.
Rovman Powell, David Miller, Odean Smith, Akeal Hosein and Tabraiz Shamsi will potentially be unavailable to their franchises from 8 March onwards due to bilateral limited-overs series between the West Indies and South Africa.
Adil Rashid, Moeen Ali and Jason Roy may miss the season because of England’s limited over series against Bangladesh from 26 February to 14 March.
Wanindu Hasaranga will leave the tournament on 3 March while Afghanistan’s players may become unavailable to their teams for a brief duration due to potential international commitment.
Alex Hales will join PSL 8 from 26 February onwards with Tim David joining Multan Sultans on 3 March. Jordan Cox will be available to Lahore Qalandars from 21 February as he is on the England Lions tour of Sri Lanka.
