ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Super League edition 5 draft for players likely to bedelayed from November this year.

Former Pakistan captain and wicket-keeper, Rashid Latif believes that thedraft for 5th edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) is unlikely to be heldin November this year.

The 50-year-old added that due to the unavailability of foreign cricketersand time constraints, the draft process could be delayed this time around.

PSL5 Draft could be delayed due to less time and availability of foreignplayers.

The former captain also bashed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for notreleasing profits to PSL franchises on time.

PCB should release PSL4 profit to all 6 franchises. PCB’s profit margin is200% but franchises are not happy.

The PCB and six franchises are at odds over the finances, as the franchiseshave decided against depositing bank guarantee citing the fact that theleague, in its 5th year, is now stable to operate without such guarantees.
