Following the completion of the local player category renewal process for the HBL Pakistan Super League 2023, the categories of eight players were raised to a higher level.
This coincided as the Pakistan Cricket Board opening the registration window for foreign players. The player lists for the tournament that will be played from the 9th of February until the 19th of March 2023 at four different locations have been distributed to the six other franchises.
This tally includes seven players who are currently competing in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. They are Mohammad Wasim Junior (Islamabad United, from Gold to Diamond), Shahnawaz Dahani and Shan Masood (Multan Sultans, from Gold to Diamond), Haider Ali and Mohammad Haris (Peshawar Zalmi; Haider from Diamond to Platinum, Haris from Silver to Gold), and Mohammad Nawaz and Naseem Shah (Peshawar Zalmi; Haider from Diamond to Platinum, Haris from Silver to (Quetta Gladiators; Nawaz from Diamond to Platinum, Naseem from Gold to Diamond).
Aamer Jamal of Peshawar Zalmi is the second player. His category has been upgraded due to his debut for Pakistan in the Twenty20 Internationals that were played on Pakistani soil against England. The all-rounder participated in the fifth and sixth Twenty20 Internationals held in Lahore.
He was an integral part of Pakistan’s triumph in the fifth Twenty20 International, which they won despite giving up eight runs in the final over when England needed 15 runs to win.
While this is going on, categories for five different cricketers have been lowered. These players are Hasan Ali (promotion from Platinum to Diamond), Faheem Ashraf (rise from Diamond to Gold) (both playing for Islamabad United), Sohaib Maqsood (promotion from Diamond to Gold for Multan Sultans), Wahab Riaz (rise from Platinum to Diamond for Peshawar Zalmi), and Sarfaraz Ahmed (upgrade from Platinum to Diamond for Peshawar Zalmi) (Quetta Gladiators, Platinum to Gold).
Before deciding which players will be retained, the teams will submit relegation requests for the players in question. Following the submission of relegation petitions, every club is given a chance to compete at the same level as the player’s base category. A player can be demoted to a class lower than his base category if his essential type is not matched.
U23 players are not eligible to be included in a squad for more than two years as an Emerging player unless they have played nine or fewer matches during that period.
