The Multan Sultans franchise is reportedly preparing for a major rebranding as owner Ali Tareen decides not to renew his contract with the Pakistan Super League. Sources suggest Tareen’s exit comes after disagreements with PSL organizers over what he described as “poor management” of the tournament. His decision has opened the door for new ownership and a fresh start for the team ahead of PSL 2026.
Franchise Put Up for Sale
With Tareen stepping down, the Multan Sultans franchise is now available for purchase. Latest estimates value the team at Rs. 140 crore. Investors have a unique opportunity to take control of a popular and successful franchise that represents South Punjab. The sale could mark a turning point for the team as it seeks new leadership and a renewed identity in the next season.
Gratitude to Fans and Team
In a heartfelt post on X, formerly Twitter, Ali Tareen expressed his deep appreciation for the Sultans’ supporters. He described leading the franchise as “one of the greatest honors” of his life. Tareen highlighted the pride of representing South Punjab on a national stage and thanked players, staff, and fans for their dedication. His message reflected both nostalgia and hope for the team’s future under new ownership.
