News Summary:

On September 7, 2026, the Pakistan Super League (PSL) considered moving its 2027 season to January after media rights holders complained about limited advertising revenues during the April-May window, which clashes with the Indian Premier League (IPL). This suggestion emerged from a September 1 meeting of the PSL Governing Council in London. Previously, on September 1, Misbah-ul-Haq resigned as a Pakistan selector, hours after the PCB dropped seven players and sent them home alongside coaches Sarfaraz Ahmed and Umar Gul following a loss at Lord's. This followed an exclusive report on July 27, which stated that Babar Azam accepted Pakistan's Test captaincy only after seeking assurances that he would eventually regain leadership across all three formats. According to sources, two selectors met Babar before his appointment as Test captain was announced on July 5.
