Retention Wars: The Real Power Struggle

The league’s biggest fault line isn’t teams—it’s retentions.

The Three Camps

1. Existing franchises: want 4–5 retentions to protect cores they built.

2. New franchises (initial stance): prefer zero retentions to level the field.

3. PCB compromise: maximum of three retentions.

Behind closed doors, realism is winning.

Most likely outcome: 4 retentions + 1 RTM (Right to Match)
This formula preserves legacy value while allowing Sialkot and Hyderabad to compete immediately—without turning the draft into a token exercise.

As one insider quipped:
aag lagay basti main, Kamil Khan apni masti main
—confidence is high, but consensus is inevitable.
