The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will manage the Multan Sultans for the 2026 PSL season. The league will see the board acting as the temporary owner. A new franchise owner will be chosen after PSL 11 concludes.
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi spoke about the decision at a press conference on Sunday. He said the board will oversee all Multan operations during the tournament. He also mentioned that a new head for the team will be announced in the next ten days.
Naqvi suggested an earlier start for PSL 11. The proposal is to begin on March 23 instead of March 26. All franchises must agree before the schedule is finalised. Starting earlier could help smooth the tournament.
Wasim Akram has been named the brand ambassador for PSL. He will also lead the player auction. His role is expected to attract more attention to the league.
Ali Tareen and the Tareen Group, former Multan owners, plan to bid for a new PSL team. They might target one of the additional franchises expected to join soon.
There is uncertainty about Multan’s captain. Mohammad Rizwan’s position is under review. PCB’s temporary control could bring leadership changes. Rizwan may not continue as captain for the next season.
Fans can expect changes in team management and leadership. Ownership, schedules, and key roles are all being re-evaluated. PCB’s direct control is meant to ensure stability. The final decisions will come after PSL 11 concludes.
PSL 11 promises a new phase for the league. Teams, players, and schedules are all under review. The tournament could see fresh leadership and ownership changes. Fans will watch closely as plans take shape.
