The players draft for the seventh season of Pakistan Super League took place on 12 December 2021 at the High Performance Centre in Lahore.[1][2] Before the draft, the teams were allowed to retain a maximum of 8 players and make any transfers. The transfer and retention window closed on 10 December 2021.[3]

Background

The Pakistan Cricket Board announced that Lahore Qalandars will have the first pick.[3] The total purse for each team was capped at $1.2 million.

Each team was also allowed to pick two additional players in the supplementary round. They also had the right to exercise one wildcard pick. In a first in PSL, right-to-match cards were introduced allowing franchises to buy back a maximum of one player that they have released on the draft day by paying the respective fee against each category:[4]

  • Platinum ($130,000-$170,000)
  • Diamond ($60,000-$80,000)
  • Gold ($40,000-$50,000)
  • Silver ($15,000-$25,000)
  • Emerging ($7,500)

Transfers

Shahid Afridi and Englishman James Vince were traded from the Multan Sultans to the Quetta Gladiators. As part of the transfer, the Sultans took Quetta's diamond and silver round picks, respectively.[1] 2021 season's Islamabad United players Iftikhar Ahmed was swapped with Quetta Gladiators' wicket-keeper-batsman Azam Khan,[1] while Hussain Talat was traded to Peshawar Zalmi in return for Zalmi's silver category 2nd round pick.[5]

Retained players

On 10 December 2021, the Pakistan Cricket Board announced the retention players list. All the teams were allowed to retain a maximum of 8 players from the previous season.[6] All four franchises fully utilized their quota of eight player retentions apart from Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators.[4]
