Islamabad, March 13, 2025: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially revealed the ‘Luminara Trophy’ for the landmark 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), set to begin on April 11.
The much awaited trophy was unveiled through a cinematic three-minute promotional video filmed along the coastal waters in Karachi, the home city of Karachi Kings..
With assistance from the Pakistan Navy, a professional diver retrieved a treasure chest from the sea, presenting the silverware to PSL stakeholders.
The event featured PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi, franchise representatives, and players, including former national captain Sarfaraz Ahmed and pacer Rumman Raees.
Naqvi highlighted that the unveiling of ‘Luminara’ at sea symbolized the league’s commitment to innovation and excellence. He described the trophy as a representation of PSL’s legacy and its bright future.
Crafted from a single sheet of solid silver, the 10-kilogram Luminara Trophy is adorned with 22,850 high-luster zircon stones. Its name derives from the Latin words ‘luminare,’ meaning torch, and ‘lumens,’ meaning light.
The 10th PSL edition will kick off with defending champions Islamabad United facing Lahore Qalandars at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
A total of 34 matches will be played across four venues from April 11 to May 18. Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium will host 13 matches, including both Eliminators and the grand final, while Rawalpindi will stage 11 games, including the first Qualifier on May 13. Karachi and Multan will each host five matches.
Meanwhile, in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Kolkata’s Eden Gardens has been confirmed as the venue for the 2025 IPL opener on March 22 and the final on May 25.
This marks the first time in a decade that Kolkata will host the IPL final, having previously done so in 2013 and 2015.
