The structure of the league will be modeled on the Indian Premier League[1][2], making use of the franchise model.

At the current moment the following thirteen teams are thought to make up the PSL. They are to be shuffled into one group of 4 and three groups of 3 every year unless and until one or more of the proposed teams are inducted.
