2023 Pakistan Super League (referred to as HBL PSL 8 for sponsorship reasons) was the eighth season of the Pakistan Super League, a franchise Twenty20 cricket league which was established by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in 2015. Then PCB chairman Ramiz Raja had hinted at an auction-based system to replace the draft for the 2023 season but a draft was retained.[1][2] The draft for the tournament was held on 15 December in Karachi.[3] A total of 36 foreign players were picked alongside local players.[4] Lahore Qalandars were the defending champions.
The tournament was to be played between 13 February to 19 March 2023,[5] However, on 16 March 2023, PCB moved forward the final by a day to 18 March 2023 due to bad weather forecast predicted in Lahore, with 19 and 20 March set as reserve days.[6]
In the final, Lahore Qalandars defeated Multan Sultans by a minor margin of 1 run to become the first team in the PSL to defend their title.[7]
Squads
[edit]In November 2022, the retained player's list was announced.[8] Squads for the tournament were finalized on 15 December with the final draft.[9]
Venues
[edit]The Pakistan Cricket Board announced plans to hold matches in Multan, Peshawar, Lahore and Karachi during the 2023 season. Lahore and Karachi were only the venues in 2022.[16][17][18] The Arbab Niaz Stadium in Peshawar was declared unfit to hold any matches in the tournament.[19] Quetta's Bugti Stadium was later added to the list of PSL venues but was removed shortly after due to logistical reasons.[20][21][22] The PCB considered moving the matches in Lahore and Rawalpindi to Karachi after a dispute with the Punjab government over the cost of security arrangements but did not do so after the dispute was resolved.[23][24]
