What About Diamond and Gold Categories?

The excitement doesn’t end with the Platinum category. Each team gets three picks in the Diamond and Gold categories as well.

  • Gold Category: Peshawar Zalmi will lead the charge in the first round, followed by Quetta Gladiators in the second, and Multan Sultans in the third.

This order keeps fans guessing about how their favorite teams will strategize to build their squads.

Why Gwadar?

The choice of Gwadar as the venue for the PSL 10 Player Draft is nothing short of spectacular. Known for its breathtaking coastline and rich cultural heritage, the city is set to shine as cricket’s newest hotspot. The PCB’s decision to host the draft here isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a move to promote cricket in Balochistan and inspire young talent in the region.
