The Pakistan Super League (or PSL) is a proposed Twenty20 cricket competition created by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The first season of the Pakistan Super League is expected to begin in 2011 and will replace Pakistan's current RBS League.

The structure of the league will be modeled on the Indian Premier League[1][2], making use of the franchise model.
At the current moment the following thirteen teams are thought to make up the PSL. They are to be shuffled into one group of 4 and three groups of 3 every year unless and until one or more of the proposed teams are inducted. The Afghuan national team has also asked PCB to play in the tournament. The PCB has said them playing is likely.
The Tournament would also be expanded to possibly include foreign players, however at the moment only Pakistani players will be participating.
