The Pakistan Super League will take a major leap in match officiating technology as it reaches its milestone 10th edition in 2025. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that all 34 matches of PSL 10  to be played from April 11 to May 18  will have a complete range of Match Officials' Technology (MOT), a first in the history of the league.

In the past, the PSL only applied fragments of MOT, but this year, the system will be implemented in its entirety to meet international standards and improve the accuracy of decisions as well as fan interaction.
