ISLAMABAD – A blockbuster auction at Karachi’s Jinnah Convention Centre, Pakistan Super League (PSL) stunned fans by expanding to eight teams for the first time ever. The spotlight shone on OZ Developers, owned by Mr. Hamza Majeed, who won the eighth franchise with a jaw-dropping bid of Rs1.85 billion, naming the team Sialkot.
FKS Group claimed seventh franchise for Rs1.75 billion, branding it Hyderabad, after fierce bidding war involving nine top contenders. This historic move marks only second major expansion in PSL history, after Multan Sultans’ debut in season three.

Kingsmen Cricket Club, famed for its Chicago roots in Minor League Cricket, is now making waves in Pakistan, led by star all-rounder Hammad Azam. Their explosive debut in Australia’s Top End T20 Series set the stage for what could be a game-changing era in PSL cricket.
Fans can expect unprecedented action, world-class talent, and record-breaking drama as the PSL enters this new era of expansion and excitement.
