Lahore ( Oct 30, 2019): The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has come up with yet another innovation as they have decided to introduce traditional street cricket style in the upcoming edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

The first pick in the draft for PSL season five will be decided on ‘Pugam’ (Show of Hands) system. The draft for PSL season 5 will be held in mid-November. The exact date will be disclosed soon.

All franchises’ representatives or owners will be gathered either at Minar-e-Pakistan or Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore to do ‘Pugam’.
