Overview

  • The PCB has suspended Multan Sultans and, according to board sources, issued a termination notice over alleged breaches tied to public criticism of league management.
  • In a viral video on October 24, owner Ali Khan Tareen rejected the demands, tore up the notice and refused to deliver the public apology sought by officials.
  • The franchise said it received a legal notice but maintains it does not constitute immediate termination of its PSL status.
  • The notice, as described by Multan Sultans, threatens to revoke the franchise agreement and impose a lifetime blacklist on Tareen unless he retracts his remarks.
  • With valuations nearing completion and a December re-bid looming, the PCB could revoke Multan’s rights and invite new owners if the dispute is not resolved.
