They have hired a baseball coach for fielding
That is great.

Now @Rana will be waiting for Multan to drop catches and do misfielding

Who is Punjab King’s fielding coach? What has their money brought them?
 
I like Kamran Ghulam.... but he's not a T20 player. Good player in the longer formats but not T20.
 
Kamran
Tayyab
Rizwan
Hope

None of these are suited for T20s and they will have to play atleast 3 in their lineup.
 
Johnson Charles: I’ll hit a few sixes in the powerplay to give us advantage

Rizwan: You are a guest, behave as I guest. I will do this, this is my Pakistan super league.
 
Random player: I am thinking of ordering Shawarma tonight

Rizwan: But think about it, the decision you make will be the decision of your life!
 
0.99% chance to win the trophy, but we will only discuss champion stuff.
 
Seriously strong bowling line up. They'll be competitive against everyone but Lahore is the team to beat this year

What happened to Motie? He just left whilst warming the bench?

West Indies spinner Gudakesh Motie has left PSL 2025 due to a domestic issue in Guyana. Curtis Campher joins the Multan Sultans squad.

Motie lost multan all its game while sitting on the bench just how faheem lost Pakistan the Champions Trophy on the bench

I think Aqib Javed and PCB selection committee caused domestic issues for Motie
 
Good game for Multan today , still believe their combination is not sorted but the time for tinkering is over its result which matter now , every player must step up and in Rizwan they have a good attention to detail captain.
 
Ali Tareen shares franchise future plans
Multan Sultans owner Ali Tareen has reiterated his deep commitment to the franchise, calling it a project that remains “very close to his heart” following significant investment and effort to establish the team as one of the Pakistan Super League’s (PSL) most dominant sides this decade. He also dismissed speculation that he plans to walk away from the team after PSL Season 10.

“I never said I’m abandoning Multan Sultans,” Tareen told local media during his team’s match against the Lahore Qalandars, which the Sultans won by 33 runs. “We are simply exploring options to re-evaluate our franchise agreement after the tenth edition of the PSL.”

Tareen explained that the current financial model is unsustainable for the franchise.

“We do have the option to renew our contract with a 25 percent increase on the current price. But at that price, we’re operating at a loss,” he said. “My plan is to exercise our right to exit the current agreement and rebid for the team – hopefully at a more realistic valuation, similar to Karachi Kings’ $26 million deal over ten years.”

He also pointed to the challenges faced by the franchise’s previous owners. “They suffered significant losses and couldn’t continue. We stepped in, and now we’ll look to bid again under better terms.”

Commenting on his team’s recent on-field performance, Tareen expressed satisfaction with their first win of PSL Season 10.

“After the loss to Islamabad United in Rawalpindi, we were focused on bouncing back at home in Multan,” he said. “The coaches and I agreed there was no need to panic. We knew once we got back to Multan, we’d get things back on track.”

While acknowledging the relatively subdued buzz around PSL X, Tareen emphasised that the Sultans continue to play for their fans. “We told the players they’re playing for the people of Multan. That connection, that love – it’s what drives us.”

On talent development, Tareen proudly highlighted the success of the Tareen Cricket Academies.

“Our men’s and women’s academies are operating year-round. One standout story is Sheher Bano, a 14-year-old girl who joined us with no cricket experience. She’s now represented Pakistan in the Under-19 Asia Cup and World Cup qualifiers,” he shared.

“Our development squad under the JDW banner is participating in the PCB-organised President’s Trophy Grade-II and I am pleased that they have done well in the opening two matches – taking first innings lead points in a drawn opening match and then recording a 10-wicket victory in the second match,” Tareen said.

Looking ahead, Tareen revealed plans to further develop cricket infrastructure in the region. “We’re working on building a stadium in DHA Multan, as well as enhancing facilities in Rahim Yar Khan and Bahawalpur. The goal is to create a strong, coordinated network across South Punjab for our teams and academies.”

If We Can Lose Four Out of Five, We Can Win Four Out of Five – Bracewell

ultan Sultans all-rounder Michael Bracewell remains confident of his team’s chances of reaching the play-offs, despite a challenging start to the season that has seen them pick up just one win in their first five matches.

Speaking after a narrow defeat at home to Islamabad United, Bracewell acknowledged that the side has struggled for consistency, but believes there’s plenty of time – and talent – for a strong turnaround.

“T20 is a funny game. If we can lose four out of five, we can just as easily win four out of five,” Bracewell said. “That would put us right in the hunt, especially with four teams qualifying for the play-offs. If we can get into the play-offs, anything can happen.”

He admitted the team hasn’t always played as a cohesive unit but stressed that the quality is there.

“There’s work to be done, and it’s back to the drawing board,” he said. “I don’t think we’re playing terrible cricket, but maybe we’re just losing those key moments. If we can recognise and seize those moments, I think we’ll be in a good place.”

The Sultans will look to revive their campaign in upcoming matches against Lahore Qalandars (April 26) and Quetta Gladiators (April 29) in Lahore, before returning to Multan for their final three group games, including two crucial day fixtures against Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators.

Looking ahead, Bracewell remained upbeat.

“We’re coming off a good win against Lahore a couple of nights ago, so hopefully we can do the double on them and carry that momentum forward,” he said. “I’m sure they’ll come out firing – they’ve got a great side. But that’s the beauty of the PSL: six strong teams, and you have to be on form every night to compete.”

“We weren’t tonight, but we’ve still got five games to go. Like I said, anything can happen if we keep the right attitude.”

Despite their current position near the bottom of the table, the Sultans can take heart from their remarkable 2021 campaign – where they bounced back from a similarly tough start to win six of their last seven matches and ultimately lift the trophy.

Addressing the mood in the camp and how the team stays motivated, Bracewell said:
“It should be easy to stay motivated. We’ve played some really good cricket along the way, but mostly in patches rather than as a team.”

“Individually, everyone’s had a good performance or two this season, but to win games, you need a few guys firing together on the same night. As cricketers, we all want to put our best foot forward, and I’m sure the boys will be working hard in training over the next few days to be ready for that game against Lahore.”

Bracewell admitted the loss to Islamabad United at home was frustrating, particularly given the Sultans’ desire to make their Multan ground a stronghold.

“It’s obviously disappointing to lose, especially here at home in Multan. We like to think of this ground as a fortress, and unfortunately, we weren’t able to get over the line today,” he said.

“I think we were probably 10 or 15 runs short with the bat. The dew came in a bit this evening, which may have made batting slightly easier. Credit to them – they played really well. But there’s plenty for us to work on heading into the next match.”

Reflecting on the contrasting performances between their win against Lahore and the latest defeat, Bracewell said the team struggled to maintain early momentum.

“Yeah, I think after a performance like yesterday, you hope to carry that momentum into the next game. Unfortunately, we didn’t get off to the best of starts,” he said.
“Islamabad bowled really well and kept things tight during the PowerPlay, which made scoring difficult. If we had gotten off to a flyer, we might’ve carried that momentum forward. But they shut us down quickly and took the early ascendancy.”
