PSL 10: Star Players Available for PSL 10 Draft
More than 400 foreign players have registered for the PSL 10 Draft. This means the players’ pool is significantly larger this time. The draft process will take place on January 11, featuring many big names.
Star Players Available for PSL 10 Draft
Many well-known players are available this season. For instance:
Kane Williamson, New Zealand’s superstar who previously played in IPL, is now available for PSL Season 10.
David Warner, Daryl Mitchell, Steven Smith, and Jonny Bairstow are also part of the list. Bairstow went unsold in the IPL, but he is available for PSL.

Players like Reeza Hendricks, Sikandar Raza, Litton Das, Tymal Mills, Muzarabani, Brandon King, Angelo Mathews, and James Neesham are included as well. Meanwhile, Alex Hales, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, and Shakib Al Hasan are notable mentions in the list.
Note: PSL 10: Draft Location and Timing Announced
First Time PSL Participants
Some players are appearing for the first time in PSL, including Steven Smith and Kane Williamson. This will likely make the league more competitive.
Registration Numbers and Player Availability for the PSL Draft
With over 400 registered foreign players, some will be fully available for the entire season, while others may be partially available. Teams are expected to prioritize players who can commit to the whole season.
Concerns About England Players
There have been concerns regarding the availability of England players due to the England Cricket Board (ECB) reportedly not issuing No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to players, except for those not participating in county cricket or Test matches. However, players like Alex Hales, Tymal Mills, and Adil Rashid (who does not play Tests) are expected to be available.
Draft Location and PCB’s Plans
The PSL 10 draft will take place in Dubai, as PSL management wants to expand its international reach. If PCB formally communicates with the ECB, it might resolve the NOC issue for England players, given the good relations between the two boards.
Conclusion
PSL 10 is shaping up to be a spectacular tournament with a long list of superstars, some of whom will play in PSL for the first time. Despite the competition with IPL and potential challenges with player availability, this season is set to be one of the most exciting yet.
