Ali Khan Tareen, son of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Tareen Thursday said he would bid for the sixth franchise of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), previously known as the Multan Sultans. Talking to a private TV channel, Ali Tareen said, "If we win the rights to the sixth team we will continue with the name Multan."
"We are making sure that the team from South Punjab does not get out of our hands," Ali said, adding, "We are working on cricket in South Punjab. Our goal is to make an academy and ground in every district and support club cricket so that young cricketers can have a chance to play at the national level." Ali had shown interest in buying the sixth PSL team.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had terminated the franchise agreement of Multan Sultans after they failed to meet their financial obligations. Following the termination of the contract, all rights in respect of the PSL sixth team were reverted back to the PCB.
