Two Big Signings Announced in PSL 11

PSL 11: Two New Direct Signings Rock the League as Retentions Heat Up Across Franchises

The HBL PSL 11 continues to deliver major headlines as two new direct signings have officially been confirmed, further intensifying the competition and even influencing discussions around the T20 World Cup 2026.

Lahore Qalandars Sign Mustafizur Rahman for Rs 6.44 Crore

Lahore Qalandars have made a bold move by directly signing Bangladesh’s premier fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman for Rs 6.44 crore.Known for his lethal cutters and calmness in pressure situations, Mustafizur’s arrival has completely changed Lahore’s bowling outlook.

Peshawar Zalmi Bring in Rahmanullah Gurbaz

At the same time, Peshawar Zalmi have strengthened their batting by directly signing Afghanistan’s star wicketkeeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz.

Gurbaz’s fearless batting at the top of the order and his ability behind the stumps give Zalmi an explosive edge, making them one of the most balanced sides so far in PSL 11.

Why Multan Sultans Have Not Made Any Retentions Yet

Fans have been questioning why Multan Sultans are yet to announce any retentions or signings.

The reason is clear: Multan Sultans’ ownership is currently undergoing a bidding/auction process. Until the ownership matter is finalized, the franchise is unable to retain or directly sign players. Once resolved, Multan is expected to enter the market strongly.

All Eyes on Hyderabad and Quetta Gladiators

With most franchises locking in their core squads, attention now turns toward Hyderabad and Quetta Gladiators. Supporters are eagerly waiting to see whether these teams will announce surprise signings or strategic retentions in the coming days.
