Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee Chairman Najam Sethi has announced plans to create a separate entity for the Pakistan Super League (PSL), with its own body and members. Najam Sethi had earlier said that the PCB is looking forward to adding two more franchises in the upcoming seasons, with many showing interest in buying them.
The PCB approved the overhaul of the PSL in November 2016, which included a proposal to register the league as a private limited company independent of the PCB.
The proposal was unanimously approved by the governing body despite the then-PCB chairman Shahryar Khan’s concerns over the decision, but the implementation was delayed as planned.

PSL Should Be A Separate Company From The PCB – Najam Sethi
In an exclusive interview with Cricket Pakistan, Najam Sethi emphasized the importance of having separate management for the Pakistan Super League (PSL), with the board holding majority shares.
“The Pakistan Super League (PSL), should be a separate company from the PCB with the board holding the majority of the shares, but the private sector should also be included to strengthen it,” Najam Sethi said.

My Position Remains The Same – Najam Sethi
Najam Sethi admitted that his proposal to create a separate company for PSL has faced controversy in the past. The 74-year-old believes that PSL should be a separate company with its own secretariat, chairman, and board of governors.
“In the past, when I presented this suggestion, people said that because I am the chairman of the PSL, I want to create a separate company to ensure my own interests, although this was not true,” he said.
