PSL 11: Hyderabad Bring in Australian Star Marnus Labuschagne Through Direct Signing

Hyderabad has roped in the Australian star batter Marnus Labuschagne through direct signing for the upcoming PSL 2026 season. The franchise is making its debut in the league this year, so it wants to make an immediate impact by bringing in top international stars.

Hyderabad announced the signing through a social media post, showcasing the animated image of the star Australian batter. He is a well-reputed name in international cricket, which is why his signing is seen as a key move for the new PSL franchise.

"Yeah… this just happened. Calm under pressure. Built for big moments. Marnus Labuschagne locked in as our direct signing for [PSL]." said the caption of the social media post.

Interestingly, Hyderabad did not reveal the price at which Marnus Labuschagne has been secured for the PSL 2026 season. Fans are therefore speculating that Marnus would have been roped in with a big budget, as he is a proven star in international cricket.

Although Marnus Labuschagne does not have many T20I records registered to his name, he is still a quality batter who can score loads of runs for Hyderabad in the upcoming season. The franchise now intends to sign more players in the historic PSL 2026 auction, which is scheduled to take place on February 11.
