The player draft for the 8th edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) will be taking place on 15th December, with the tournament scheduled to take place from February 09th – March 19th, 2023 with Karachi, Multan, Lahore and Rawalpindi selected as host venues. The draft lists were announced on 07th December, with players from many Associate member countries having been put in the list in the Silver (foreign) category. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had already revealed the pick order for the drafts, where defending champions Lahore Qalandars will make the first pick followed by Quetta Gladiators and 2021 champions Multan Sultans and so on.
