Talks are underway between the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and England's Middlesex County Cricket Club regarding participation in the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL).

According to Andrew Cornish, CEO of Middlesex, the talks have been "very positive" and are expected to continue in the coming weeks.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is aware of the talks and has no objections. It is worth noting that Middlesex will likely not have to pay anything to join the PSL, unlike other teams who have had to pay millions for participation.

Club's participation in the upcoming edition is unlikely but a squad may be sent for a short pre-season warm-up tour as a sign of commitment.  If negotiations continue to go well, it is possible that Middlesex could be a part of the competition starting in 2024.
