In a surprise move, PCB’s chief Mohsin Naqvi announced a new six‑a‑side competition that promises to bring the PSL to the streets, promising a 6‑run‑per‑over spectacle.
The format will mirror the Hong Kong Sixes but with a franchise twist, letting city teams battle it out in short, high‑energy games. Salman Naseer, league chief executive, said, "Nothing is finalised, but there are some exciting plans, and one of them is a sixes tournament, called the PSL Sixes, which will be in the off‑season."
Strategically, the board is eyeing smaller stadiums and untapped cities, hoping to give local fans a taste of PSL action that usually stays locked in the big arenas. The move could open doors for grassroots engagement and fresh revenue streams.
Pakistan’s pedigree in the Hong Kong Sixes—six titles since 1992—adds credibility, but the board has already tightened travel for the over‑50s veterans, denying them a slot in India’s upcoming Masters World Cup.
While the decision is still under discussion, the buzz is clear: PSL Sixes could redefine summer cricket in Pakistan, and fans should keep an eye on the official schedule for the next off‑season showdown.
