Lahore — The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has moved to tighten its control over stakeholders involved in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), aiming to improve governance, transparency, and long-term sustainability of the tournament.
According to officials, the new measures focus on stricter compliance rules for franchise owners, commercial partners, and other stakeholders. The PCB is seeking greater oversight in financial dealings, player contracts, and operational decisions to ensure the league runs smoothly and aligns with international standards.
Sources indicate that the board is also reviewing existing agreements and may introduce revised contractual terms to protect its interests and maintain consistency across all franchises. This includes tighter regulations on sponsorship deals, branding rights, and revenue sharing.
The move comes as the PSL continues to grow in popularity both locally and internationally. However, the PCB believes stronger central control is necessary to address emerging challenges and prevent disputes among stakeholders.
Franchise representatives have expressed mixed reactions, with some supporting the initiative for better structure, while others are concerned about reduced autonomy.
