💼 Why the Decision Was Made
Earlier, the PCB had announced plans to operate Multan Sultans itself for PSL 11. However, following:
-
Record-breaking sales of two PSL franchises
-
Rising interest from foreign investors
the board decided to sell the Multan franchise through an open auction instead.
🏏 Growing Interest in PSL Franchises
The move reflects the increasing commercial value of the PSL, with international investors showing strong confidence in the league’s future. The sale of Multan Sultans is expected to further strengthen PSL’s financial and global standing.
