England Players Will be Part of The PSL 2025: The issue between India and Pakistan in Champion Trophy 2025 has been resolved. Meanwhile, there is also discussion about the conflict of schedules of the Indian Premier League and Pakistan Super League, in which earlier the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had prohibited its players from participating in all cricket leagues except IPL. Now there is a sigh of relief for PSL in this matter.
ECB’s new policy and players’ displeasure
Last year, the ECB had decided that English players would not be able to participate in PSL and other foreign leagues. However, only IPL was exempted from this rule. ECB had taken this step to promote its domestic cricket and especially its big tournament ‘The Hundred’.
However, the players did not like this move at all. About 50 English players threatened the ECB that if they were stopped from playing in the PSL, they would boycott ‘The Hundred’. Players said that PSL has given them money, recognition and success. Due to tough competition in IPL, many English players do not get a chance, whereas in PSL they get a good platform.
ECB decision and PSL draft
According to the report of ProPakistan, after pressure from the players, the ECB has decided to give NOC for PSL 2025. This news has brought a big relief for PSL team owners because the PSL 2025 draft is to be held on January 13. Now English players will be able to play in this league, which will enable team owners to make their teams stronger. Now big players like Sam Billings, Alex Hales, David Malan, Adil Rashid, Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson, Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow can be included in the draft.
Special connection of English players with PSL
PSL has given new heights to the careers of many English players. Harry Brook is a great example of this. He performed brilliantly in PSL, then earned name in international cricket and made his place in IPL. PSL provides good earnings and excellent opportunities to foreign players, that is why English players like this league more.
