Several teams have also secured direct overseas signings before the auction, adding further intrigue to squad-building for the upcoming season.
Bangladesh all-rounder Mehedi Hasan Miraz went unsold in the PSL auction. Despite being listed at a base price of PKR 1.1 cr, no franchise showed interest in the all-rounder.
Several franchises showed strong interest in Faheem Ashraf, but Islamabad United won the bidding war against Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators to sign the pace-bowling all-rounder for PKR 8.5 cr.
Karachi Kings have signed David Warner for PKR 7.9 cr. Quetta Gladiators secured Rilee Rossouw for PKR 5.55 cr in the PSL auction.
Haris Rauf unites with Mustafizur Rahman, who joins Lahore Qalandars for the upcoming PSL season for 7.60 cr.
Rishad Hossain became the second Bangladeshi to enter the PSL auction. Rawalpindi and Karachi Kings engaged in a bidding war to secure him, with Rawalpindi eventually signing him for PKR 3 cr.
Later, Mohammad Amir added to Rawalpindi's squad for PKR 5.4 cr.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, pacer Nahid Rana, and Bangladesh T20 captain Litton Das went unsold.
