The PSL 2026 season is set to begin on March 26 as Lahore Qalandars take on Hyderabad Kingsmen at the Gaddafi Stadium. However, the league will have a limited contingent of foreign players this year due to schedule clashes with the IPL.

Several overseas players pulled out of the tournament at the last minute after getting IPL contracts. While PCB is yet to take action on this, Cricket Australia have stepped in to help as several Aussie players are on their way to play PSL 2026.

On that note, let’s see the full list of Australian players who will play PSL 2026.
