The Pakistan Cricket Board announced that Quetta Gladiators will have the first pick in the draft.[5] A total of 485 foreign players registered for the tournament.[6]

Each team had the right to exercise one wildcard pick. Each team had a right-to-match card which allowed franchises to buy back a maximum of one player they have released by paying a set fee in each category.[4]

Transfers

Hasan Ali and Islamabad's first round silver pick were traded from Islamabad United to Karachi Kings in return for Imad Wasim and Karachi's second round silver pick.[7][8] Iftikhar Ahmed and Quetta's first round platinum pick were traded from Quetta Gladiators to Multan Sultans in exchange for Rilee Rossouw and Multan's first round silver pick.[9][10] Naseem Shah and Quetta's third round platinum pick were traded from Quetta Gladiators to Islamabad United in exchange for Mohammad Wasim, Abrar Ahmed and Islamabad's first round platinum pick.[11][12] Shan Masood and Multan's fourth round silver pick were traded from Multan Sultans to Karachi Kings in exchange for Faisal Akram and Karachi's first round silver pick.[13] Karachi and Multan also swapped their first round diamond picks.[14]
