Sylhet Titans have signed Pakistan’s young all-rounder Saim Ayub for the upcoming Bangladesh Premier League, confirming that he will represent the franchise for the entire season. The team, which is set to make its BPL debut, secured him ahead of the players’ draft to strengthen its overseas lineup. The franchise had already finalized Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Nasum Ahmed through direct signings. Saim’s arrival gives the new team a strong international presence as they prepare for their first campaign in the league. Meanwhile, the Titans are close to confirming a new coaching setup. Imrul Kayes is expected to take charge as batting coach for the first time in BPL history, while discussions continue with Syed Rasel for the bowling coach role. Official announcements have not been made yet. Sylhet’s previous representation in the league came through the Sylhet Strikers, who participated over the last three editions. Their ownership group chose not to continue for the next five-year cycle, opening the door for a new franchise. The new Sylhet Titans franchise is backed by Cricket With Sami, Bangladesh’s first fully established sports management company. Known for its long-standing work in player representation, the group has now stepped into franchise ownership for the first time. The Titans’ entry, along with the signing of Saim Ayub, is seen as a significant addition ahead of the new BPL season.
The Pakistan Super League has taken a major step toward expansion, announcing that the auction for two new PSL franchises will take place on 6 January 2026. The move follows the completion of market valuations for existing teams and commercial assets, allowing the league to proceed with its long-awaited growth plans. According to the PSL, only bidders who meet the technical requirements will be allowed to participate in the January auction. Officials say the aim is to ensure that only committed and financially capable groups enter the competition, keeping the league’s standards intact. The inclusion of two new teams is expected to reshape the tournament’s structure. It will expand PSL’s presence across Pakistan, create new rivalries, and open the door for more young cricketers to showcase their talent. This development comes at a time when the league is looking to strengthen its national footprint and improve commercial opportunities. As part of the pre-auction process, the PCB has shortlisted six cities from which bidders can select their franchise identity: Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Hyderabad, Sialkot, Muzaffarabad, and Gilgit. Successful bidders will be free to choose any of these as their official team name once the auction is complete. PSL and PCB officials said they are excited to welcome new stakeholders into the league’s ecosystem, noting that the expansion reflects Pakistan cricket’s broader ambitions both on and off the field. With the auction date now confirmed, the arrival of two new teams is set to add depth, opportunities, and fresh energy to the country’s biggest cricket event.
The Pakistan Cricket Board has approved a major rise in prize money for the Pakistan Super League, introducing new financial rewards that will take effect from the PSL 2026 season. The update came from PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who said the move aims to link success on the field with long-term cricket development. According to the new structure, PSL champions will receive $500,000, while runners-up will earn $300,000. This amount is separate from the league’s official prize money, which will be announced later. Naqvi also confirmed a new category: a $200,000 award for the “Best Franchise contributing towards Cricket Development.” The board says the idea is not only to increase rewards but also to redefine how franchises are evaluated. Until now, teams were mostly judged by results and brand presence. With the new development award, their efforts in strengthening Pakistan’s cricket structure will also carry weight. The PCB expects teams to support youth academies, scouting programs, regional pathways, and coaching setups. Better facilities in underdeveloped areas may also help franchises stand out. Officials believe this can push PSL teams to play a more active role in grooming future talent. The increased prize money for the top two sides is meant to maintain strong competition on the field. At the same time, the development award encourages owners and management to think beyond one tournament cycle. In his announcement, Naqvi wrote that the aim is to move Pakistan cricket “to new heights.” With these financial changes, the PSL now has a system that promotes both performance and long-term investment in the game.

ICC CEO Sanjog Gupta said the expanded format and global spread of teams would mark a new chapter for the event. He noted that the presence of 20 teams from five continents reflects the unpredictable nature of the format and the growing worldwide interest in T20 cricket. The full schedule and venue allocations signal the start of preparations for what is set to be one of the biggest cricket events in recent years.
Pakistan secured another strong win in the Tri-Series 2025, beating Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the third match at Rawalpindi on Saturday. The home side chased the target of 129 with ease, thanks to a solid innings from Sahibzada Farhan, who scored 80 runs. Sri Lanka had chosen to bat first after winning the toss. They began well through Kamil Mishara, who provided a fast start, but the momentum did not last. Once he fell, wickets continued to fall at regular stages. Janith Liyanage held one end with an unbeaten 41, but Sri Lanka could only manage 128 for 7 in 20 overs. Pakistan’s bowling effort was led by Mohammad Nawaz, who picked up three wickets. Mohammad Wasim Jr returned to the playing XI as Pakistan made one change, resting Shaheen Afridi for this match. Sri Lanka made three changes of their own, including the debut of Vijayakanth Viyaskanth. During the chase, Pakistan lost Salman Ali Agha and Babar Azam to Dushmantha Chameera, but by then the game was already in Pakistan’s control. Farhan kept the innings steady and played aggressive shots when needed. He received support from the middle order as Pakistan reached the target in 15.3 overs, ending at 131 for 3. Sri Lanka had earlier faced an upset loss to Zimbabwe in the opening match of the series. Their performance again lacked stability, leaving them under pressure ahead of the next fixtures. Pakistan now sit in a strong position in the tournament, maintaining momentum with another comfortable win. More stories in our Cricket News section.
Pakistan Shaheens continued their strong run in the ACC Men's Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 with a nine-wicket win over the UAE in their final Group B match at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. The victory kept Pakistan unbeaten in the group stage. Earlier this week, several national players also made gains in the latest ICC ODI rankings, showing good form across formats. UAE, who were asked to bat first, struggled from the start. They lost three quick wickets inside the first six overs and never recovered. Ahmed Tariq fell for a first-ball duck, while captain Alishan Sharafu was trapped LBW for three. Sohaib Khan also departed early as UAE slipped to 15-3. The collapse continued in the middle overs. Harshit Kaushik was removed for five, and a brief attempt to rebuild ended when Syed Haider fell after scoring 20 off 19 balls. Pakistan’s bowlers kept the pressure on, picking wickets at regular intervals. In the 14th over, Sufiyan Muqeem struck twice in two balls to leave UAE 50-9. The innings ended at the same score when Maaz Sadaqat dismissed Muhammad Jawadullah. Meanwhile, the PCB recently issued a clarification regarding new team identities for future PSL seasons. Muqeem led the attack with 3/12, while Sadaqat and Ahmed Daniyal took two wickets each. Shahid Aziz, Mohammad Shahzad and Arafat Minhas shared one wicket apiece. Pakistan chased the small target calmly and wrapped up the match in just 5.2 overs. The only wicket fell when Mohammad Rohid dismissed Mohammad Naeem for six. After that, Maaz Sadaqat and Ghazi Ghori took control and added a 50-run stand. Sadaqat played an explosive knock of 37 not out off 15 balls, hitting four fours and three sixes. Ghori supported him with 16 off 12 balls. With this win, Pakistan Shaheens topped Group B with six points and a net run rate of 4.560, finishing the first round with three wins in three matches.
Pakistan’s leading batsmen Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have moved up in the latest ICC ODI rankings after strong performances in the 3-0 series win against Sri Lanka. Babar has risen one spot to sixth place with 722 rating points in the ODI batting list. Salman Ali Agha stayed steady at 16th, holding his position despite a reshuffle at the top. Rizwan made one of the biggest gains of the week. He jumped five spots to 22nd, reflecting his recent form. Opener Fakhar Zaman also improved his ranking, moving up five places to 26th with 589 points. Meanwhile, some Pakistani batters slipped. Saim Ayub dropped three spots to 38th, while Imam-ul-Haq fell seven places to 54th with 516 points. There was also major movement at the top. New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell has taken the No. 1 position, pushing India’s Rohit Sharma to second place. Afghanistan’s Ibrahim Zadran moved down to third, while Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli now sit at fourth and fifth. In the bowlers’ rankings, Pakistan’s spinner Abrar Ahmed made an impressive jump of 11 spots to break into the top 10. He is now ranked ninth with 624 points. Captain Shaheen Afridi slipped five places to 21st, while Haris Rauf climbed five spots to 23rd with 562 points. Pacer Naseem Shah dropped to 36th, and Mohammad Nawaz fell to 71st. However, Mohammad Wasim Jr made a big leap of 20 places, reaching 64th. Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan continues to lead the ODI bowling rankings, followed by England’s Jofra Archer and South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj. More stories in our Cricket News section.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday denied reports claiming that two city names had already been finalised for the new Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchises. In its statement, the board said that the winning bidders will choose a team name from the list of approved cities. The options already shared with interested parties include Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Hyderabad, Sialkot, Muzaffarabad and Gilgit. The PCB said it was encouraged by the strong interest shown by companies seeking rights for the two new PSL teams. The board said the growing demand highlighted the league’s expanding value. Last month, PSL Chief Executive Officer Salman Naseer said that an auction will be held for the two new franchises in the 11th edition of the tournament. He told reporters in Karachi that bidders would receive a pool of city names and could select one for their team after winning the process. The PCB said that the public advertisement for team franchise rights was issued on 15 November 2025, inviting bids from interested parties in Pakistan and abroad. According to the board, the deadline for submitting technical proposals is 15 December 2025 at 11am. The board said the process would move forward as per schedule.
The Pakistan Football Federation (PFF), led by its newly elected president Mohsen Gilani, has invited organisations and investors to submit proposals for launching a new domestic football league. A formal notice released this week asks interested partners to file an expression of interest and a detailed plan by early next month. PFF Evaluating League Format Options The key question now facing Pakistan’s football leadership is whether the league will follow the traditional Pakistan Premier Football League structure — featuring departments and clubs — or adopt a modern franchise model. Pakistan’s previous top-tier league has remained inactive since 2019, and departments that once supported football operations have scaled back due to financial and administrative issues. Franchise groups in Pakistan, many of whom have been waiting for official approval, are expected to move quickly. A potential franchise league has long been part of private-sector plans, but lacked endorsement from the PFF until now. Clubs and departments, however, may find it more challenging to prepare structured proposals, especially considering promotions from the 2020 second-tier PFF League. AFC Signals Support for Pakistan’s League Revival The urgency to revive domestic football competition intensified following the recent visit of Asian Football Confederation (AFC) president Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa. During his trip, he reaffirmed AFC’s commitment to supporting Pakistan’s league revival and emphasised the need for step-by-step progress. “Sheikh Salman said that every country requires a model suited to its own football ecosystem, and Pakistan must take measured steps to build a stable league structure. He also noted that a strong balance is needed between commercial interests and football development, advising against short-term tournaments that last only a few months. Pakistan football may get a new league soon, but it’s still unclear what kind of league it will be — and whether it’s the right one for the country. Franchise Model Concerns and ISL Lessons Debate around a PSL-style football league has grown in Pakistan, influenced partly by the Indian Super League (ISL). The ISL, launched in 2014, attracted global interest but now faces uncertainty after the All India Football Federation received no new commercial bids. Critics say the ISL reduced opportunities for local players and prioritised glamour over development, with several Indian coaches raising concerns about foreign-player dominance and lack of grassroots pathways. Former India and Pakistan national team coach Stephen Constantine had also highlighted the shortage of competitive matches for local players, stressing the need for a functioning league rather than a short seasonal showpiece. These concerns raise questions about whether a franchise model in Pakistan would ensure meaningful local participation or rely heavily on foreign players to attract attention. Investors typically seek fast returns, but Pakistan’s footballing base requires a long-term developmental approach. Uzbekistan and Jordan as Development Models Sheikh Salman referenced Uzbekistan and Jordan, two Asian nations that recently secured historic World Cup qualifications. Both countries achieved success through stable, long-term league structures rather than high-profile experiments. Uzbekistan’s Olympic Tashkent project, built entirely around youth talent and competing in the top tier, was highlighted as a model for continuous talent development. Pakistan Needs a Grassroots-First Strategy A decade of crisis in the PFF has left the federation with a clean slate but a massive rebuilding task. Pakistan must revive both its league and the National Challenge Cup to create a functioning football pyramid. Previous investigations have shown that FIFA officials were also involved in discussing a potential franchise model, but Pakistan’s football needs may differ sharply from fast-commercial formats. Government officials reportedly favour the franchise model, increasing the likelihood that a privately backed league may begin soon. The final decision now depends on the proposals PFF receives and whether the chosen partners can balance commercial expectations with Pakistan’s need for grassroots football development.
Pakistan survived an early collapse and a spirited bowling performance from Zimbabwe to secure a five-wicket victory in the second match of the T20 tri-series in Rawalpindi on Wednesday. Chasing 148 on a surface offering grip and inconsistent bounce, the hosts recovered from 31 for 3 through a calm, match-shaping partnership between Fakhar Zaman and Usman Khan, before Mohammad Nawaz finished the chase with a composed late cameo. Zimbabwe, after flying to 91 for 1, crashed dramatically to 147 for 8, losing seven wickets for just 56 runs. Their seamers reignited the contest by dismantling Pakistan’s top order, but crucial missed chances and Pakistan’s middle-order resilience ultimately decided the game. Zimbabwe Collapse After Electric Start Zimbabwe appeared in complete control early, racing to 60 inside seven overs, with Innocent Kaia and Brian Bennett smashing 11 fours and a six between them. Pakistan’s spinners were taken for 26 runs in their first two overs, and the visitors looked ready to post a total in excess of 180. But Mohammad Nawaz changed the tone of the innings immediately upon introduction. Bowling quicker and flatter than Pakistan’s leg-spinners, he forced a miscue from Tadiwanashe Marumani at deep square leg. Although the dismissal came off a full toss, it sparked the collapse Pakistan desperately needed. Nawaz then removed Ryan Burl with deceptive pace and used subtle variations to restrict boundaries. His four-over spell of 2 for 22 not only broke Zimbabwe’s rhythm but also produced the lowest economy rate among all bowlers who delivered a full quota. Between the 11th and 19th overs, Pakistan’s spinners — Nawaz, Abrar Ahmed and Saim Ayub — completely suffocated Zimbabwe. In this eight-over phase, Zimbabwe managed only 30 runs, lost six wickets, and even suffered two pressure-induced run-outs. Sikandar Raza provided late resistance, scoring an unbeaten 34 off 24 to avoid a total collapse. But a finish of 147 for 8 was well below what Zimbabwe looked set for at one stage. Zimbabwe’s Pacers Shake Pakistan Early Defending 148, Zimbabwe began brilliantly with the ball. Brad Evans produced a magnificent over, removing both Sahibzada Farhan and Babar Azam with sharp movement. Farhan fell lbw while Babar nicked off to slip — a dismissal rarely seen in Rawalpindi T20s. Tinotenda Maposa then trapped captain Salman Agha to leave Pakistan at 31 for 3, and Graeme Cremer, returning to T20Is after seven years, dismissed Saim Ayub to push Pakistan deeper into trouble. At 54 for 4, the run rate was touching nine per over, and Zimbabwe sensed a major upset. Fakhar and Usman Steady Nerves Under pressure and with five specialist bowlers still to face, Pakistan finally found stability through Fakhar Zaman. Playing his comeback T20I innings, Fakhar countered spin with smart footwork and punished anything remotely short or wide, scoring 44 off 32. Usman Khan played the perfect foil. Calm at the crease and decisive against spin, he rotated the strike superbly and ensured Pakistan did not allow Zimbabwe to build dot-ball pressure. Their 61-run stand resurrected the chase, stabilizing the innings exactly when Pakistan needed a long partnership. When Fakhar fell trying to clear midwicket, Pakistan still required quick runs — but they had enough resources left. Nawaz Completes the Job After a Lucky Escape Mohammad Nawaz, already Pakistan’s standout bowler, walked in with the required rate climbing again. He was dropped at midwicket by Bennett on nine — a chance that could have changed the complexion of the final moments. At that stage, Pakistan needed 15 off 10 balls. Nawaz capitalized on the reprieve, cracking a six and two fours to swing the game back instantly. His 20 off 12 balls ensured Pakistan avoided panic and crossed the finish line with four balls to spare. He then sealed victory with a boundary, capping off a superb all-round performance. Key Turning Points Nawaz’s introduction: Broke Zimbabwe’s momentum after their explosive start. The 11–19 over choke: Zimbabwe scored only 30 in this phase, losing six wickets. Zimbabwe’s early triple strike: Reduced Pakistan to 31 for 3. Fakhar–Usman stand: Steered Pakistan from danger to control. Bennett’s dropped catch: A decisive turning moment with 15 needed off 10. Stat Highlights Zimbabwe: 91/1 to 147/8 — collapse of seven wickets for 56 runs. Nawaz: Best economy rate (5.50) among full-quota bowlers. Evans: 2 for 26 — highest impact bowler for Zimbabwe. Pakistan: Middle order (5, 6, 7) scored 101 of the 151 runs. Match Summary Zimbabwe 147/8 (Bennett 49, Raza 34*, Nawaz 2-22) Pakistan 151/5 (Fakhar 44, Usman 37*, Nawaz 20*) Result: Pakistan won by five wickets Player of the Match: Mohammad Nawaz (Pakistan)
Pakistan overcame a dramatic top-order collapse and a tricky batting surface to defeat Zimbabwe by five wickets in the opening match of the T20 tri-series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. The hosts were rescued by a composed middle-order performance led by Fakhar Zaman, Usman Khan, and Player of the Match Mohammad Nawaz, after Zimbabwe’s pace attack reduced Pakistan to 31 for 3 inside four overs. Zimbabwe, who opted to bat first after losing veteran Craig Ervine to injury during warm-up, posted a competitive but below-par 147 for 8, despite a brisk start powered by Brian Bennett and Innocent Kaia. Pakistan’s spinners, particularly Nawaz and Abrar Ahmed, applied the brakes in the middle overs and prevented Zimbabwe from capitalising on their powerplay momentum. The victory gave Pakistan a crucial early advantage in a tournament that also features New Zealand, with the top two sides contesting the final on November 23. Zimbabwe Start Brightly, But Middle Overs Hurt Momentum Zimbabwe began with intent, racing to 59 for 0 in six overs, their fastest T20I powerplay of the year. Bennett, typically aggressive against spin, targeted the shorter boundary and forced Pakistan to shuffle their field placements early. Kaia provided steady support, rotating strike effectively and punishing width. However, the innings unravelled immediately after the power play. Abrar Ahmed struck with his first over, removing Kaia with a sharp googly, before Nawaz dismissed Bennett for 49 after a mistimed slog to deep mid-wicket. Both dismissals came at crucial moments when Zimbabwe appeared set for a total above 165. From 59 without loss, Zimbabwe slipped to 89 for 4, losing momentum on a surface offering grip and occasional low bounce. Captain Sikandar Raza played a fighting hand worth 34 from 25 deliveries, but received minimal support from the rest of the lineup. Richard Ngarava’s late cameo briefly threatened to push the total closer to 160, but Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf executed tight death overs to restrict scoring. Zimbabwe managed only 49 runs in the final eight overs, a phase that ultimately defined their innings. Pakistan’s Top Order Collapses Under Early Pressure Chasing 148, Pakistan made a disastrous start. Brad Evans trapped Sahibzada Farhan lbw with a full ball that straightened sharply, drawing the crowd into stunned silence. Two balls later, Evans induced a thick edge from Babar Azam, who was taken safely at slip — a rare dismissal for the former captain in home conditions. When debutant Tinotenda Maposa dismissed Agha Salman with a sharp inswinger, Pakistan were reeling at 31 for 3, and Zimbabwe’s confidence surged. The visitors’ aggressive use of seam and swing troubled the batters, with Maposa in particular finding a late dip that forced defensive errors. Saim Ayub played a brief counterattacking cameo but fell attempting to clear mid-off, leaving Pakistan at 54 for 4 and in danger of a major upset. Fakhar Zaman and Usman Khan Reverse Momentum With Pakistan struggling, Fakhar Zaman absorbed pressure with veteran calm, anchoring the innings while punishing loose deliveries. His 44 off 32 balls featured clean hits over the leg side and deft placement through gaps — a much-needed stabilising knock on a slowing pitch. Usman Khan, returning to the national side after domestic success, complemented Fakhar with controlled aggression. His footwork against spin stood out, and his ability to rotate strike prevented Zimbabwe from building dot-ball pressure. The pair added 61 crucial runs, turning the match back in Pakistan’s favour. During their partnership, Raza tried multiple bowling changes, including double-spin from both ends, but Pakistan’s calculated approach kept them ahead of the asking rate. Fakhar’s dismissal, holing out while attempting a slog sweep, gave Zimbabwe a brief opening. Yet Usman held firm, finishing unbeaten on 37 and guiding the lower order with composure. Nawaz Finishes the Job in Style With 17 needed off the final 12 balls, Pakistan seemed at risk of dragging the match into the final over. But Mohammad Nawaz, already the star with the ball, delivered a composed finishing act. Striking two boundaries off Evans in the penultimate over, Nawaz swung momentum decisively. Pakistan completed the chase with five balls remaining, avoiding late drama and securing a confidence-boosting victory ahead of their clash with New Zealand. Captain Reactions Salman Agha (Pakistan captain) “We didn’t start well with bat or ball, and that’s an area we must improve. The spinners controlled the game brilliantly and our middle order showed maturity. We’ll rest, recover and prepare harder for the next game.” Sikandar Raza (Zimbabwe captain) “A few extra runs would have made this interesting. We probably left 15–20 runs on the field. Credit to Pakistan — their bowlers adapted quickly and their middle order played sensibly.” Mohammad Nawaz (Player of the Match) “Rawalpindi usually offers more pace, but today it was slower. I tried to keep things simple. The wicket also suited my bowling. Always happy to contribute in both departments.” Key Takeaways Pakistan’s top order remains a concern, collapsing again to disciplined seam bowling. Zimbabwe’s opening stand was promising, but poor middle overs and a lack of finishing cost them. Pakistan’s spinners turned the match decisively, picking 5 wickets in the 12 overs between them. Usman Khan’s calm knock strengthens his case for a permanent middle-order role. Nawaz’s all-round performance (2 wickets + match-winning cameo) proved the difference. Match Summary Zimbabwe: 147/8 (Bennett 49, Raza 34; Nawaz 2-21, Abrar 2-28) Pakistan: 148/5 in 19.1 overs (Fakhar 44, Usman 37*; Evans 2-27, Maposa 1-18) Result: Pakistan won by 5 wickets Player of the Match: Mohammad Nawaz (Pakistan)

Pakistan Shaheens continued their strong run in the ACC Men's Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 with a nine-wicket win over the UAE in their final Group B match at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. The victory kept Pakistan unbeaten in the group stage. Earlier this week, several national players also made gains in the latest ICC ODI rankings, showing good form across formats. UAE, who were asked to bat first, struggled from the start. They lost three quick wickets inside the first six overs and never recovered.
