Seasons

Multan Sultans[a] is a Pakistani professional Twenty20 franchise cricket team representing Multan, a city in southern Punjab, in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The team was established in 2017 as the sixth franchise of the league, added ahead of the third season.[5][6] The team plays its home matches at the Multan Cricket Stadium.[7]

Initially, the franchise was owned by Schön Properties for US$41.6 million over eight seasons, but the contract was terminated in 2018 after payment defaults.[8] Later that year, a consortium led by Alamgir Khan Tareen and Ali Khan Tareen acquired the team.[9] Alamgir Tareen became the sole owner in 2021 and remained in that role until his passing in 2023.[10] The franchise is currently managed by the Tareen family group.[11]

Multan Sultans won their first PSL title in the 2021 season by defeating Peshawar Zalmi in the final.[12] The franchise reached the finals in four consecutive seasons between 2021 and 2024, winning once and finishing runners-up three times, establishing itself as one of the PSL’s most consistent sides.[13]

The team is currently coached by Abdul Rehman, with Mohammad Rizwan serving as captain since 2021.[14]

Franchise history

[edit]

In April 2017, a few weeks after the conclusion of the 2017 Pakistan Super League, PSL chairman Najam Sethi announced that a sixth team would be added for the third season.[6] The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) short-listed five regions as possibilities for the new franchise.[15] In June 2017, the franchise was officially established after Schön Properties won the bid for an eight-year contract against ten other contesting bidders.[5]

On 10 November 2018, the PCB announced that the franchise agreement with Schön Properties had been terminated and all rights in respect to the franchise were returned to the board. The termination followed the franchise’s failure to pay the annual fee required by the PCB.[16][17] The PCB temporarily took over the management of all player and coaching contracts while launching a new public tender to sell the repackaged rights for the franchise.

In December 2018, the Multan Consortium, led by Alamgir Khan Tareen and Ali Khan Tareen, won the bid for the team.[18] In 2021, Alamgir Khan Tareen became the sole owner of the franchise[9] and remained in that role until his passing in 2023. The franchise is currently managed by the Tareen family group.[19]

In 2025, the franchise became involved in a public dispute with the PCB regarding the Pakistan Super League's financial and operational structure. In April, franchise owner Tareen criticised the board's approach to the league's expansion and revenue model, arguing that the upcoming season lacked meaningful innovation despite being promoted as the "biggest ever."[20] Later that month, reports indicated that the franchise might seek fresh bidding terms due to the PCB's new requirement of a 25% increase in annual franchise fees.[21] On 23 October 2025, the PCB issued a suspension and termination notice to the Multan Sultans over alleged contractual breaches, warning that the team's rights could be revoked if the issue was not resolved.[22] Sultan's future participation in the league is uncertain pending a legal resolution between the board and franchise.[23]

These steps positioned the Sultans for entry into the league, emphasizing a roster blend of international stars and local prospects to represent southern Punjab's cricketing aspirations. However, Schön Properties' failure to pay the required franchise fee led the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to terminate the agreement on November 10, 2018, just after the team's inaugural season. In response, the PCB swiftly re-awarded the rights to a consortium led by businessman Alamgir Khan Tareen and his nephew Ali Khan Tareen, who submitted a winning bid of US$6.35 million per year for the remaining seven years of the contract, exceeding the reserve price of US$5.21 million annually, receiving formal approval on December 20, 2018.

2025 season

Mohammad Rizwan continued as captain for the Multan Sultans in the 2025 season, leading a squad that retained key players like leg-spinner in the platinum category and incorporated new draft picks such as all-rounder David Willey and batsman Iftikhar Ahmed. The team aimed to build on their streak of four consecutive finals appearances from 2021 to 2024, but the campaign quickly unraveled into one of the franchise's most challenging outings. The Sultans managed only one win in their 10 league matches, finishing in last place with the worst win percentage (10%) in the team's history.

Home ground

The Multan Cricket Stadium, located in Multan, Punjab, serves as the primary home ground for the Multan Sultans franchise in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Opened in 2001, the venue was constructed to replace the older Ibn-e-Qasim Bagh Stadium and quickly became a key cricket facility in southern Punjab, hosting its inaugural international match—a Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh—in August of that year. With a seating capacity of 30,000, the stadium features modern floodlights for day-night matches and a well-maintained outfield that supports high-paced play. Prior to the Sultans' entry into the PSL in 2018, the stadium underwent significant renovations funded by the (PCB), including upgrades to seating, drainage systems, and broadcasting infrastructure to meet international T20 standards.

Management and staff

Ownership and administration

The Multan Sultans franchise was acquired by the Tareen family in December 2018 through a consortium led by Alamgir Khan Tareen and his nephew Ali Khan Tareen, securing ownership rights for seven years at a cost exceeding the reserve price of USD 5.21 million annually. Following Alamgir Tareen's death by suicide in July 2023, Ali Tareen became the principal owner, continuing to oversee the team's strategic direction and investments, which have reportedly exceeded PKR 7 billion in personal contributions. The administrative team is headed by General Manager Hijab Zahid, who was appointed in August 2023 as the first female general manager in (PSL) history and the youngest at age 28. In her role, Zahid manages day-to-day operations, including financial affairs such as franchise fee payments and budgeting, while handling key relations with the (PCB) on regulatory compliance and league participation. In late 2025, the franchise faced significant challenges when the PCB issued a suspension notice on October 23, 2025, citing alleged financial irregularities, including delays in franchise fee settlements, and operational non-compliance stemming from public criticisms by owner Ali Tareen against PSL management. The notice threatened contract termination and a potential blacklist for Tareen, escalating tensions over broader issues like league and franchise contributions, which Multan Sultans claims have outpaced even title sponsor payments over seven years. Post-dispute developments in 2025 have focused on governance restructuring, with Multan Sultans submitting reform proposals to the PCB for improved decision-making and transparency, amid the original contract's expiration in December 2025. The PCB has initiated processes to potentially reassign ownership, engaging financial institutions for a new franchise cycle starting PSL 11, which could involve a sale or full restructuring to ensure league stability. As of November 2025, Multan Sultans remains the only PSL franchise yet to receive an ownership renewal offer from the PCB. Following Ali Khan Tareen's decision not to renew the contract, the PCB invited bids for the franchise rights in January 2026, with technical proposals due by January 30, 2026, at 3:00 PM to [email protected]. This move was influenced by high demand following the successful sale of two new PSL franchises, and the PCB will operate the team during PSL 11 before transferring ownership.

Coaching staff

Abdul Rehman has served as the head coach of Multan Sultans since September 2023, when he was promoted from his role as assistant coach, a position he held for the previous five seasons.

The franchise's inaugural head coach was , who oversaw the team during its debut seasons in 2018 and 2019.

Fielding coach Will Lintern was added in April 2025, tasked with improving athleticism and standards through specialized drills. Under Rehman's leadership, the coaching staff has prioritized an emphasis on spin bowling since the 2021 title win, leveraging home conditions at Multan Cricket Stadium to build a balanced attack that contributed to the team's consistent playoff appearances through 2024. This approach, combined with dedicated development roles, has fostered player growth, particularly among young Pakistani talents, by integrating data analytics and personalized training programs. The inclusion of diverse coaches like Dalton and Hartley has enhanced team culture, promoting inclusivity and innovative techniques that supported a strong bowling unit despite the team's early exit in the disappointing 2025 season. Following that underwhelming performance, where Multan Sultans crashed out after recording their lowest-ever PSL total in a key match, the staff underwent internal reviews, though no major personnel changes were announced by November 2025.

Squad and leadership

Captains

The Multan Sultans have had three captains in their Pakistan Super League (PSL) history, each contributing to the team's evolution from a debutant franchise to consistent contenders. Shoaib Malik served as the inaugural captain from 2018 to 2019, providing stability during the team's early years by leveraging his extensive T20 experience to guide them to their first playoff appearance in 2018. Under Malik's leadership, the Sultans secured key victories, including an opening win against the defending champions Peshawar Zalmi in PSL 2018, which helped establish a competitive foundation despite inconsistent results across his tenure. Shan Masood took over as captain for the 2020 season in a brief interim role, marking a transitional phase after coaching changes aimed at revitalizing the squad.

Following the PSL 2025 season, the franchise faced significant uncertainty due to a suspension issued by the (PCB) on October 23, 2025, for alleged breaches of contract involving owner Ali Tareen. As of November 15, 2025, the PCB excluded Multan Sultans from PSL franchise renewal offers due to non-compliance, with bidding opened for two new teams in the expanded eight-team PSL 2026. This led to a termination notice and potential dissolution of the franchise, impacting player retentions ahead of the expanded PSL 2026 season, which will feature eight teams and stricter retention limits of four to five players per side. As a result, the current squad's continuity is in doubt, with implications for the upcoming draft and possible redistribution of players if the suspension persists.
