The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially started the process of asset valuation for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) to decide how much each franchise will need to pay in renewal fees as their initial 10-year agreements approach completion.

🔎 Why This Matters

When the PSL was launched in 2015, franchises were sold for fixed amounts with 10-year terms.
With the PSL now recognized as one of the world’s top T20 leagues, its brand value, sponsorships, and broadcasting rights have grown tremendously.
PCB wants to reassess the league’s true commercial worth before locking in new franchise contracts.

💰 Renewal Fees

The valuation will determine franchise renewal costs, which are expected to be much higher than the original prices.
Teams like Karachi Kings, Lahore Qalandars, Peshawar Zalmi, Quetta Gladiators, Islamabad United, and Multan Sultans will all be impacted.
Franchise owners have previously expressed concerns about rising financial pressures, making this round of negotiations crucial.

📌 What Happens Next

PCB will present the valuation report to the franchises.
Negotiations will decide the renewal structure—whether franchises keep permanent rights after paying revised fees, or if a new bidding process may open in the future.
The outcome will shape the future financial model of PSL, including possible new franchises or league expansion.
