[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Fawad Rana (Lahore Qalandars owner) Appreciation Club!

[ARK Rafay]

Kya karu ga...simple Rana saab, fire Aqib Javed

Kasa karu ga...again simple, fire Aqib Javed

Kya lakha chala gai...a team without Aqib Javed

I mean it's very simple.

Yup. Rana Fawad should sell or rebrand his team. Team name.

 

[Saj]

He needs more cricket people around him and people who are in touch with the game.

Flopping once can be bad luck, but every season can't be down to bad luck.

 

[Savak]

Needs to stop being concerned with making people happy and take some strong decisions. Someone needs to be held accountable and that is Aqib Javed.

 

[gazza619]

Lol what appreciation? Guess a lot of people have sympathy and feel sorry for him.

 

[Suleiman]

Aqib Javed is Thanos of Pakistan cricket, with just one tweak he has ruined the bowling careers of 50% of our pacers with potential.

 

[coy0607]

no need to feel bad for him, and what's to appreciate? the guy has done a pathetic job putting a team together - gotta be doing something special to consistently finish at the bottom

stop appreciating incompetence!

 

[MenInG]

And he is back!

He alone is the biggest franchise in T20

 

[MenInG]

Seems Rana Sahib told a reporter that :

Wicket used in the final was an odd one - because his team which is full of stroke players could only hit one six

 

[Qalandar]

where is rana saab?

 

[Savak]

The guy has kept his distance from the Franchise and let his younger brother Atif Rana handle things in the last 2 years

 

[MenInG]

Media report:

Why was Fawad Rana missing? Sameen Rana explains:

"Fawad Bhai is here with the team, he was with us when we won," Sameen said in the exclusive online interview. "But his appearance on the screen was reduced as we wanted to make our players the real face of our franchise"

"Our PSL victory completely belongs to Shaheen Shah Afridi and his players, not me, not Fawad and Atif Bhai. These players are the real face of Qalandars and we want to promote them"

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

The Lahore Qalandar owners. The Ranas seems like very likable people. They come across very genuine.

Seems LQ back to the bad 'ol days.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Where has he gone? He doesn't show up anymore.

 

[Qalandar]

Hey everyone,


So I came across this interesting article from Dawn (July 2023) that really got me thinking — what exactly is going on behind the scenes at Lahore Qalandars?


For those who don’t know, Fawad Rana — the passionate face of the franchise and arguably one of the most loved figures in PSL — filed a petition in the Lahore High Court claiming that his shares in the Qalandars’ parent company were transferred without his consent. According to him, he was completely sidelined and excluded from the company's affairs. His legal team says there was no proper transfer deed, no legal process, and yet the ownership was moved.


What’s wild is that the court actually stopped the share transfer and summoned responses from the involved parties, including his own brothers who seem to be on the other side of this.


This raises so many questions:

• Why would Fawad’s own brothers allegedly push him out of the franchise he helped build?
• How could such a huge internal shift happen without due process?
• Is this a case of family business gone wrong or something deeper within the management of Lahore Qalandars?
• What does this mean for the future of the team — especially after all the goodwill Fawad built with fans?

Honestly, it's disappointing if true. Fawad Rana wasn’t just an investor — he was the Qalandars for many fans. His energy, passion, and belief in young Pakistani talent brought a unique flavor to the PSL.


Would love to hear your thoughts. Does anyone have more inside info or theories on why this happened?

He was basically a mascot that performed for the gallows.

But good thread, was confused where he had vanished

That's so sad, seems like he has vanished completely and been cheated out of his investments.

Quite symptomatic of our country where cheating and lying seems to be the 'successful' business method.

He has way more charisma and personality than the fake western wannabe Ali Tareen.

They did

 

[topspin]

Possibly the most charismatic Pakistani cricketing personality in recent times.

 

[Major]
