However, on the request of all franchises, the board has now decided to increase the size of squad to 20 players, as some players might become unavailable due to international commitments. Franchises will now pick two players in the supplementary category.

“Meanwhile, on the request of the franchises, the PCB has agreed to increase the number of players per side to 20, allowing each franchise to pick two additional Supplementary players. The Supplementary players will be picked in the Replacement Draft, which will take place on Tuesday, 24 January,” PCB said in a press release.
