Overview
- The Pakistan Cricket Board has suspended Multan Sultans and, according to board sources, issued a formal termination notice over alleged breaches of the franchise contract.
- Multan Sultans acknowledge receiving a PCB notice but contend it is not an immediate termination of their agreement.
- Owner Ali Khan Tareen posted a viral video delivering a sarcastic apology and tearing up the notice, accusing league leadership of poor communication and intolerance of criticism.
- The notice seeks a retraction and public apology and warns of cancelling the franchise and blacklisting Tareen from future team ownership, according to statements reported by both sides.
- With ten-year PSL deals expiring in December, Pakistani media report the PCB could revoke Multan’s rights and invite new bidders, which would prevent Tareen from re-bidding if he is blacklisted.
