The PSL franchises are making close to a billion rupees in profit. Once again, the franchises are set to receive a hefty sum. Around 6 billion rupees are being distributed among the six franchises, with each receiving approximately 970 million rupees.
The Pakistan Super League (PSL) is becoming more established over time. It is witnessing increasing success and generating significant profits. Even the last season brought in substantial revenue. Now, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is distributing that profit among the franchises.
For the most recent edition of the PSL, the Pakistan Cricket Board is preparing to give nearly one billion rupees to each franchise. Although the exact amount of revenue generated hasn’t been officially disclosed, it is known that the previous season brought in over five billion rupees, out of which 5.62 billion rupees were distributed among the franchises.
Again this season, the franchises are receiving large profits. Around six billion rupees are being divided among the six franchises, with each set to receive 970 million rupees — which is more than 420 million Bangladeshi Taka.
However, this figure does not include player salaries or operational costs such as travel and accommodation. Additionally, income from team-specific sponsorships is being accounted for separately. These details were provided by the PCB’s finance committee.
Some teams have yet to submit their complete financial statements. Moreover, delays are also occurring due to slow internal administrative processes. PCB’s Chief Operating Officer Salman Naseer is currently occupied with responsibilities related to the Asia Cup.
As a result, PSL-related operations have stalled. Players are also still waiting for the final 30% of their contract-based payments.
During the tournament, 70% of the contracted amount is paid by the franchises. The remaining 30% is paid after the final match. However, the responsibility for making this final payment lies with the PCB.
