Super League (PSL) will start from 26 March 2013. Matches of this tournament will be organized at
two different venues most probably Lahore and Karachi in Pakistan.

that players from different countries especially from India and Bangladesh have showed their interest
to play in the PSL.
According to a claim by an
official from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), four players from India have submitted their applications to take part in
the upcoming domestic t20 tournament. The official also said that players were
allowed by their franchises to play in the domestic tournament. It is also
heard that some top Bangladeshi players have contacted them to be a part of the
