ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued a suspension notice to the Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise, Multan Sultans, over an alleged breach of contract.

According to sources, the cricket board has also sent a formal notice for termination of the franchise’s contract after completing all necessary legal procedures.

Sources revealed that the decision reportedly follows repeated public statements by Sultans’ owner Ali Tareen, who allegedly criticised the PCB and PSL management and policies.

Earlier this year, in April, he posted a podcast clip questioning the PCB’s readiness for PSL 10.

He wrote, “How is PSL 10 bigger and better? Same games, same teams – what’s new? Fed up with hollow words. PCB had time to plan innovations, but we’re repeating last year. Our biggest brand deserves more. Explain the vision!”

A few days later, he issued a clarification after backlash, saying, “I love PSL – it’s a MADE-IN-PAKISTAN success story we all benefit from. My words were about promoting genuine growth, not negativity. Salman Naseer & the PCB team are giving their all. Let’s unite as owners to back them and elevate the league. No more stagnation!”
