Pakistan super league 2019 all teams squad after replacement Draft | PSL 2019 final teams Squad
The Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise T20 cricket league takes place from February 14 to March 17, 2019.
Comprising six teams, the 32-day competition is the fourth season of the PSL.
The players draft took place on November 20, 2018, to determine the final teams and squads for PSL 4.
The 2019 PSL 4 teams chose from five categories, including platinum, gold, diamond, silver and emerging categories.
Players in platinum will get anything from Rs. 1,70,00000 (£93,000) to Rs. 2,60,00000 (£142,000) for the full season. Each team has 3-4 big name platinum players.
Cricketers under the diamond category will get between Rs. 90,00000 (£49,000) and Rs. 1,20,00000 (£65,000) for PSL 4. Payment will depend on players skill level and experience
AB de Villiers from South Africa and West Indian Carlos Brathwaite will make their PSL debuts in the platinum and diamond categories respectively.
For the gold category, players will receive from Rs. 65,00000 (£35,000) and Rs. 80,00000 (£43,000).
Cricketer selected in the silver category will earn between 28,00000 (£15,000) and 40,00000 (£21,000).
In the final emerging category, players will get paid from Rs. 13,00000 (£7,000) and 18,00000 (£9,800). This is a big amount for young players considering each team has to field an emerging player.
The emerging player has to be under the age of twenty-three.
Each team also has a supplementary category, in the event any players suffer any injury. If this does happen a player from the supplementary group can come in as a replacement.
Let’s take a look at the six Pakistan Super League teams and squads, including some of the big players featuring in the competition:
Islamabad United..
Luke Ronchi from New Zealand who comes under the platinum category was the backbone for Islamabad United in 2018.
His contribution at the top of the order was very crucial for United as they won the PSL for the second time in 2018.
With Misbah-ul-Haq leaving Islamabad, Ronchi takes the captaincy reigns. Luke who was in Pakistan for the players draft told the media:
“A massive thanks to Islamabad United, the family, to get me involved before the Pakistan Super League (PSL) last season.

Despite his early success, Shaheen firmly has his feet on the ground as journalist Faizan Lakhani describes in a tweet:
