Masood said that six teams in total will take part in the tournament. These teams are Muzaffarabad Qalandars, Kotli Lines, Mirpur Tigers, Rawalakot Warriors, Bagh-e-Badshah and MK Kings.
Organisers of the Kashmir Super League said that since the tournament was being played in an independent state, a permit from the PCB was not a requirement.

The PCB spokesperson said that the board had not received a NOC request for the Kashmir Super League.
