Emerging category list for PSL10 revealed
Faham-ul-Haq son of former captain and head coach Misbah-ul-Haq
Pakistan U19 cricketer Faham-ul-Haq, the son of former captain and head coach Misbah-ul-Haq, has been named in the Gold category of local players for the upcoming 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), slated to take place in the April-May window this year.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday unveiled the highly anticipated list of local players in the Emerging category, featuring several notable names such as Hunain Shah, Ubaid Shah, U19 captain Saad Baig and Shamyl Hussain.
The Shah brothers, who are included in the list, played a vital role in the previous edition of the PSL for Islamabad United.
Hunain Shah hit the winning runs for his side in the final against Multan Sultans, helping his team lift the trophy for the third time.
Meanwhile, the PCB on Wednesday revealed a revised pick order for the upcoming PSL 10 draft.
The previous three Platinum categories have been consolidated into two, while the number of Diamond categories has been reduced from three to one.
Additionally, the Gold categories have been trimmed from three to two, and the Silver categories have been reduced from five to three.
In terms of draft pick order, Lahore Qalandars have secured the first pick in the Platinum 1 category, followed by Karachi Kings, Quetta Gladiators, Peshawar Zalmi, Multan Sultans, and Islamabad United.
Quetta Gladiators will kick off the Platinum 2 category with the first pick, followed by Karachi Kings.
The PCB also confirmed the revised schedule and venue for the PSL 10 player draft, now set to take place on January 13 at Huzuri Bagh in Lahore at 12:30 PM (Pakistan Standard Time).
The event, originally scheduled for Gwadar, Balochistan, was relocated due to "unforeseen logistical challenges."
Additionally, the PCB announced that Gwadar will play a key role in the PSL 2025 Trophy Tour, with the picturesque city set to host one of the tour's stops across Pakistan.
