PSL 2018 Draft

The reliable sources out there claim that PSL 2018 draft will be happening in October 2017. As we days back told that retention, release and trade of the players will be happening so the new PSL team Multan Sultans could also grab at least 9-10 players from the released players. The other thing should be kept noted here that new players in PSL 2018 namely Chris Lynn, Jean Paul Duminy, and Imran Tahir will be getting in for the PSL Draft 2018.

PSL 2018 Multan Sultans

The most expensive team of PSL, Multan Sultans will be kicking off their journey with Pakistan Super league 2018 edition. Before the PSL 2018 drafts, Sultan will be roping in at least of 9 players from those which are released by other franchises. The players for remaining squad will be picked at the PSL 2018 draft by Sultans and the other PSL franchises as well.

PSL Matches in Pakistan

The 3rd edition of PSL will be bigger than ever as it will have increased number of matches and more of the star players joining in. And if the buzz around is meant to be taken seriously than there are some serious chances of PSL 2018 Final taking place at National Stadium, Karachi. Amid all this, some cricket fans are also speculating that out of 34 matches of PSL 2018, some of the matches will be taking place in Pakistan along with the final match.
