Why Does Pakistan Super League Change Its Trophy Every Year?
Journalists Question New Trophy of Pakistan Super League
By Sports Desk • Mar 13, 2026
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) recently unveiled the redesigned trophy and updated branding for PSL 11. While the announcement created excitement among some fans, it has also sparked debate among cricket journalists and analysts about the league’s long-term branding strategy.
Important Update in Pakistan Super League Season 11
The 11th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has brought another major update for cricket fans. The Pakistan Cricket Board has revealed a new trophy and logo for PSL 11.
While some fans liked the fresh design, many cricket journalists have raised questions about this decision. They say that changing the trophy every year is not a good idea.
In most major cricket tournaments, the trophy remains the same every year, which makes it a strong symbol of the competition. For example, tournaments like the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, ICC Cricket World Cup, ICC World Test Championship, and ICC Champions Trophy use the same trophies every season.
The same is true for franchise leagues such as the Indian Premier League, The Hundred, Caribbean Premier League, and Big Bash League. Their trophies stay the same and have become iconic symbols of the tournaments.
Journalists say a fixed trophy helps fans recognize the league and builds its history. But in the case of the Pakistan Super League, the trophy has been changed many times.
Because of this, many experts believe PSL should also keep one permanent trophy so it becomes a strong and recognizable symbol of the league in the future. 🏏
