PSL is seeing some great achievements this year and it has been a success story till now for Pakistan. It would actually be interesting to see how much money this year's PSL generates.
With every PSL edition, PCB earns more money than the previous editions of this tournament. Also, if the whole tournament is played within the country (and not shited to a neutral venue like dubai), the earnings are even better.
To have a glimpse of the earning, you can see the
Salary Comparison of PSL Superstars in 2016 and 2022 and see the increments. The more the players are been given the salaries, the more the board is making money through the league.
I think this is a big reason why Pakistan is trying to host every series in their own country and not any neutral venue. In Pakistan obviously, Pakistan is going to have more viewers and also generate more revenue. This PSL has generated quite a buzz in the whole cricketing world and I think it is going to get only better from this situation.
I wonder will PSL become a direct rival to IPL in coming year’s, and imagine both being hosted at same time it’ll definitely give player’s a tough choice on which tournament to participate in. Lastly it does seem that Pakistan is bouncing back in the cricket world, and now it’s only a matter of time before they rise up in the ICC table as I see they’re building a good base for their national team.
Pakistan has a really good pipeline and we can guess that by watching the players that are being produced by Pakistan. And that alone I think can be really important for Pakistan to get them up through the rankings. And maybe it could be a thing that PSL will become the strait rival of IPL but I think that's a long time away, to be honest.
