“The HBL PSL has rapidly evolved into one of the world’s most exciting and commercially robust T20 leagues.
As the league prepares for expansion with the addition of two new teams, it has already received significant interest from potential ownership groups across the United Kingdom – a testament to HBL PSL’s rising global profile and its strong connection with UK-based cricket stakeholders,” the board had said in a press release.
