Not only this, but PSL 2022 could also collide with IPL 2022. Many foreign players who play in the IPL also participate in the Pakistan Super League. Pakistan Cricket Board usually organizes PSL in February-March.

In such a situation, foreign players playing in the IPL will not be able to take part in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The remaining matches of IPL 2021 are yet to be played. In IPL 2022, 10 teams will reportedly participate instead of 8.

Australia's tour of Pakistan is also important for Pakistan, as the Aussies have not visited Pakistan since 1998-99. International cricket could not take place in Pakistan for many years after the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team. PSL takes 47 days for a season thus there is another window between December 25 to February 15.
