The 2025 Pakistan Super League (referred to as HBL PSL X for sponsorship reasons) is the tenth season of the Pakistan Super League. Established by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in 2015 as a franchise Twenty20 cricket league, it was being played between six teams in a double round robin and page playoff system.

Originally scheduled to take place across four cities in Pakistan from 11 April to 18 May 2025, the league was delayed to 25 May amid the 2025 India–Pakistan conflict.

Background

[edit]

In May 2024, the PCB planned the league's tenth season to take place from April to May to host the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy during February and March. This meant that the tournament's schedule coincided for the first time with that of 2025 Indian Premier League. The season is the last under the ten-year agreement for a six-team structure, HBL Pakistan's title sponsorship, and the current broadcast rights deals.[a] The PCB plans to expand the league to eight teams from 2026.[5][6]

Squads

[edit]

The squads were finalized with the draft in Lahore on 13 January 2025, after the franchises announced their retained players.[7][8]

Venues

[edit]

The tournament took place across four cities; Karachi, Lahore, Multan, and Rawalpindi. While Rawalpindi Stadium remained home ground for Peshawar Zalmi, Gaddafi Stadium was the one for Quetta Gladiators.[9] The Karachi and Lahore's stadiums were briefly renovated, and re-inaugurated in February 2025.[10][11] Tickets went on sale from 3 April 2025.[12][13] Later, one home match from Multan Stadium was shifted to Lahore due to extreme weather conditions and logistics issue.[14] The playoff stage was completely shifted to Lahore, and one more league stage match from Multan to Rawalpindi.[15][16]

Match officials

[edit]

On 7 April 2025, the PCB announced the list of thirteen umpires and seven referees for the league stage. They include four members of the Elite Panel of ICC Umpires, four of the PCB's International Panel of ICC Umpires, and four of the Elite Panel of PCB Umpires. They further include one member of Elite Panel of ICC Referees and two of PCB's International Panel of ICC Referees. The Match Official's Technology, powered by Hawk-Eye Innovations, will include live umpire communications through handheld tablets for auto no-ball detection, instant Decision Review System, innings timers, match logging, and real-time multi-angle replays.[23][24][25]

Title anthem

[edit]

The season's logo variant was revealed on 4 February 2025, with nomenclature as HBL PSL X.[26][b] The official anthem "X Dekho" was released on 2 April,[27] and opening ceremony was held at Rawalpindi stadium on 11 April.[28]

Trophy

[edit]

The 'Luminara Trophy' was unveiled on 13 March 2025. Weighing 10 kg, it has 22,850 high-lustre zircon stones on it. Notably, the PSL trophy will have a first-ever nation-wide tour prior to the tournament.[29][30][31] On 10 April, the PCB announced the prize money; the winning team will be awarded with US$500,000, while the runner-up team will receive US$200,000.[32][c]

Broadcast and media

[edit]

In 2025, the league introduced simultaneous commentary in English and Urdu; PTV Sports returned with A Sports to share the broadcast feeds. Along with eight international commentators, the PCB listed thirteen national commentators. Zainab Abbas and Erin Holland presented the season.[34][35][36]

Boycott calls and postponing

[edit]

Pro-Palestinian campaigns

[edit]

Like previous year, the league yet again faced boycott campaigns from Pro-Palestinian groups in view of Gaza war, mainly because of sponsorships by KFC and Pepsi, claiming their parent companies' affiliation with pro-Israeli stances.[37][38] Empty stadiums were noted in league stage matches.[39] Particularly in Karachi,[40] poor traffic conditions, unprofessional security arrangement, and many other issues were heavily criticised.[41] Although, large gathering was reported in Karachi for Gaza Solidarity March on 13 April 2025.[42]

Indian conflict

[edit]

In aftermath of 2025 Pahalgam attack, Sony Sports Network and FanCode stopped broadcasting the tournament in India after the first thirteen matches, while Indian media personnel left Pakistan, with the PCB finding substitutes.[43][44][45]

On 8 May, the match in Rawalpindi was postponed after an attempted drone attack near the stadium, due to the India–Pakistan conflicts.[46] Later that night, the PCB announced to shift the remaining fixtures and playoff stage to UAE to ensure safety and security,[47][48][49][50] however, scrapped the plan the next day and postponed the league upon instructions by then Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.[51][52][53]

As ceasefire happened over the conflict on 10 May,[54] the PCB announced to resume the league in Pakistan.[15][16]
