Alongside Cook, the English commentary panel will feature well-known names such as Mark Nicholas, Dominic Cork, JP Duminy, Mike Haysman, Martin Guptill, and Athar Ali Khan.

Prominent Pakistani voices on the panel include former captains Ramiz Raja, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Aamer Sohail, as well as Bazid Khan, Urooj Mumtaz, and cricket analyst Sikandar Bakht.

Erin Holland and Zainab Abbas will serve as presenters during the matches.

PSL 10 is scheduled to be played from April 11 to May 18 across four cities: Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Multan.

HBL PSL Chief Executive Officer Salman Naseer said that the presence of global cricketing names as commentators will enhance the quality of coverage. He added that the introduction of full Urdu commentary will help the league connect more closely with passionate local fans, making it a more enjoyable experience for them.
