The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has unveiled the foreign player pool for the upcoming 2026 Pakistan Super League (PSL 11) auction, offering teams a wide range of international talent across multiple cricketing nations. The list features players from Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, the West Indies, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and several associate countries, giving franchises a broad selection of experienced performers and emerging options.
Among the top-tier names in the pool are players listed at the highest base price of Rs. 42 million, including Afghanistan’s Fazalhaq Farooqi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Australia’s Aaron Hardie, Ashton Turner, David Warner, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Riley Meredith, and William Sutherland, New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, and Michael Bracewell, South Africa’s Rilee Rossouw and Rassie van der Dussen, England’s Chris Jordan, David Willey, Liam Dawson, and James Vince, Sri Lanka’s Dasun Shanaka and Kusal Mendis, and West Indies stars Evin Lewis and Brandon King.
The Rs. 42 million category also includes top overseas all-rounders and match-winners, making it a highly competitive bracket for franchises looking to strengthen their squads with impact players.
The next tier at Rs. 22 million features a mix of high-profile internationals and strong T20 specialists. This includes Bangladesh’s Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim, Australia’s Daniel Sams, Jake Weatherald, Jason Behrendorff, Moises Henriques, Peter Siddle, Tanveer Sangha, and Usman Khawaja, New Zealand’s Colin Munro, Jimmy Neesham, Mitchell Hay, and Tom Latham, South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi, and Imran Tahir, Sri Lanka’s Charith Asalanka, Kusal Perera, Angelo Mathews, Asitha Fernando, and Avishka Fernando, England’s Sam Billings, Tymal Mills, Dawid Malan, Jason Roy, Reece Topley, Richard Gleeson, Saqib Mahmood, and William Smeed, and West Indies’ Jayden Seales and Matthew Forde.
The Rs. 11 million bracket includes a large pool of experienced players and strong domestic performers, featuring names such as Australia’s Chris Lynn, D’Arcy Short, and Ben McDermott, England’s George Garton and Samit Patel, Sri Lanka’s Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Dinesh Chandimal, and Bangladesh’s Litton Kumer Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz, along with many others from associate nations like the UAE, USA, Canada, and Rwanda.
A significant highlight of the pool is the inclusion of several high-caliber players from associate nations and lesser-known markets, reflecting the growing depth of global T20 talent and giving franchises more flexibility in squad building.
With the PSL 11 auction model replacing the traditional draft, franchises will now need to strategically manage their budgets while targeting the best mix of overseas stars and value picks. The deep overseas pool is expected to create intense competition, especially in the top categories where match-winning players are available.
The first-ever PSL 11 player auction is scheduled for February 11, 2026, and all eight franchises will enter the event with retentions already shaping the core of their squads. As teams weigh their options, the auction promises to be a major event with high stakes and plenty of surprises.
