While an official announcement is expected shortly, the change is already creating buzz among franchises and fans alike. But that’s not all—this year’s draft is especially important as the foreign player categories have been officially revealed. With some of the biggest international names in cricket making the list, PSL 10 promises thrilling action for fans across the globe.

Diamond Category – Value and Experience
Not every player can make it to the platinum list, and that’s where the diamond category becomes interesting. This tier includes 87 foreign players, many of whom have significant international experience and can offer high value at a relatively lower cost. One notable name here is Alex Carey, Australia’s wicketkeeper-batter, known for his composure and leadership. Many other consistent performers are also in this group, making it a goldmine for teams seeking balance.
Gold Category – Rising Stars and Hidden Gems
With 165 foreign players, the gold category is the most populated. While it includes many lesser-known names, this group often hides underrated performers who can turn out to be game-changers. Teams with sharp scouting departments will look to grab high-potential players from this tier.
