According to the board, the HBL PSL has rapidly emerged as one of the most dynamic and commercially successful T20 leagues.

The board expects a diverse audience, including business leaders, potential franchise owners and supporters eager to connect with one of cricket’s fastest-growing leagues. The initiative underscores the PSL’s focus on global expansion, strategic partnerships and world-class entertainment.
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said hosting the roadshow at Lord’s demonstrates the league’s ambition. He said the PSL aims to elevate Pakistan cricket internationally and strengthen its global presence. Naqvi added that the UK market has shown tremendous interest in the proposed new teams, enhancing the league’s international appeal.
He said the event will help deepen global partnerships and communicate the PSL’s long-term plans for innovation and expansion. He expressed confidence that the showcase will attract investors and fans eager to explore new opportunities.
Meanwhile, PSL CEO Salman Naseer said the roadshow will give investors a closer look at the league’s future roadmap. He said the PSL has established itself as a world-class league with strong global support and significant commercial value. Hosting the event at Lord’s, he added, creates the ideal setting to discuss expansion through two new teams.
