There will once more be twelve clubs from around the UK competing for the title in an unchanged lineup , with the squads between them boasting 15 of the Men’s world top 20 players (and 33 of the top 50) and 9 of the Women’s world top 30.

In Group A defending champions Benz Bavarian Duffield start off their defence with a home tie against Midland rivals Air-It Nottingham, Everards Leicester begin their second season with a home match against last season’s semi-finalists Coolhurst London, while Pontefract entertain Birmingham University.

In Group B Virgin Active Surrey HRC, whose five-season winning streak was ended by Duffield in last year’s semi-final, start with a home match against Exeter Diamonds. Last season’s runners-up Nine Telecom St George’s, again relying on mainly home-grown talent, travel to UWE/Elite Squash Bristol while Team Chichester welcome visitors ClubNet Winchester.

England Squash & Racketball Head of Competitions and Events Chris Nutley said: “I am delighted that we have maintained a full complement of teams once again.

“With all team squads now confirmed we are thrilled to have such a strong selection from the world’s top layers competing in PSL, confirming its position as the world’s best squash league. We can look forward to another exciting season of PSL and I wish all teams an enjoyable and successful campaign.”
