The 2022 KPL was promoted on social media using the hashtag #KheloAazadiSe, similar to its previous edition.

The main concerns were that an audit report was not provided for the first season and a league committee was not formed despite this being included in their agreement.

Kotli Lions’ head coach Saeed Azad left the team and was replaced by Mushtaq Ahmed.

The owner of Kingdom Valley, Ghulam Hussain Shahid, claimed that the KPL had begged him to sponsor the tournament and had asked him to pay Rs.

A KPL spokesperson said that these payments had not been made due to huge losses incurred from the tournament but would be cleared soon.
