PSL 2023 – Ramiz Raja plans to introduce the AUCTION process: Ramiz Raja feels that such a switch will help their T20 tournament build enough financial muscle that it will be put into the same bracket as its Indian counterpart.
“We need to create new properties to be financially independent,” Raja was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo. “We have nothing for now but the PSL and ICC funds. There’s an argument over the model from next year; I want to switch it to an auction model from next year. The market forces are conducive, but we’ll sit down with the franchise owners to discuss it.”

PSL 2023: Raja also opined that a change in auction system will also elevate the profile of Pakistan Super League and make it as lucrative as IPL. “This is a game of money. When the cricket economy grows in Pakistan, our respect will rise. The main driver of that financial economy is the PSL. If we take the PSL to auction model, increase the purse, then I’ll put it in the IPL bracket. And then we’ll see who goes to play the IPL over the PSL,” he said.
