PSL 11 Latest News: Major Trade Rumors and Tournament Format Revealed

The excitement around Pakistan Super League Season 11 (PSL 2026) is increasing as several important updates have emerged before the tournament begins. Recent reports suggest a major player trade between Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators, along with the announcement of the new PSL group format.

At the same time, cricket fans have received another big update regarding Babar Azam’s participation in the National T20 Cup. Here is a complete breakdown of the latest developments shared on Pak-T20.com.

Sahibzada Farhan and Hasan Nawaz Trade Rumors

One of the biggest discussions in PSL circles is the possible player trade between Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators.

Reports suggest that Multan Sultans are looking for a strong middle-order batsman, while Quetta Gladiators are searching for a reliable opening batsman.

Because of this, a trade proposal has reportedly been discussed:

• Multan Sultans want Hasan Nawaz
• Quetta Gladiators may demand Sahibzada Farhan in return

If this trade happens, it could become one of the biggest player exchanges before PSL 11.

Impact of the Trade

If Multan Sultans acquire Hasan Nawaz, it could strengthen their middle-order batting lineup.

On the other hand, if Quetta Gladiators sign Sahibzada Farhan, their top-order batting would become extremely powerful.

However, this trade has not been officially confirmed yet, and the final decision is expected soon.

PSL 11 Groups Format Announced

Another important update for PSL fans is the new tournament format for PSL Season 11.

This season will feature 8 teams, divided into two groups.

Group A

• Lahore Qalandars
• Quetta Gladiators
• Hyderabad
• Karachi Kings

Group B

• Multan Sultans
• Peshawar Zalmi
• Pindi Team
• Islamabad United

This group format is designed to make the tournament more competitive and balanced.
