Following the viral notice-tearing episode, Multan Sultans’ owner Ali Tareen has formally written to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi.
In response to PCB legal notice, the Multan Sultans owner, Ali posted a video on his X account, tearing the notice and lashing out at the officials. The video, however, went viral on social media.
Tareen criticised the board’s approach, saying, “It seems you are so used to surrounding yourself with ‘yes-men’ that you cannot tolerate criticism.”
He further added, “I never received a call, message, or invitation to sit and discuss matters in the office. Instead, I received a legal notice directly.”
He added, “If you think this threat will make me stay quiet, it will not. I love this league, it belongs to the fans, not the handful of people running it.”
Tareen expressed willingness to work with the PCB to resolve issues, saying, “If you want us to work together, we can make this league the top league in the world.”
“I apologise… that I want the PSL to be better,” he said, highlighting his frustration with the board’s handling of criticism
He ended the video by tearing up the notice.
In a latest development, Ali Tareen approached PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi directly, and shared the a plan to improve the quality of Pakistan Super League (PCL).
Tareen said in his post on X, “Even though tearing the notice was quite satisfying, it’s time to move forward. In recognition of the PSL as a national asset, we’re putting grievances aside and aiming for a fresh relationship with the board. One built on transparency, cooperation and trust. To that end, I’ve written to the PCB Chairman, proposing four key reforms to strengthen how the PSL is managed.”
PCB Suspend Multan Sultans’ PSL Contract
Previously, the PCB suspended the PSL franchise, Multan Sultans, after a formal termination notice was issued over an alleged breach of contract.
According to reports from private media outlets citing sources, the decision was made after Multan Sultans’ owner Ali Tareen publicly criticised PCB policies, which allegedly prompted disciplinary action from the board.
Sources said the franchise has received a suspension notice and a termination warning for allegedly violating contractual terms.
The move reportedly follows concerns within the PCB over the franchise’s compliance with league regulations.
