Multan Sultans (Urdu, Saraiki/Punjabi: مُلتان سُلطانز) is a Pakistani professional Twenty20 franchise cricket team. The team is nominally based in Multan, and was formed in 2017 to compete in the third season of Pakistan Super League. Multan Cricket Stadium is the team's home ground with a capacity of 35,000.[1][2] The team is captained by Shoaib Malik and coached by Tom Moody.[3][4] Wasim Akram is the team's director and bowling coach, Haider Azhar is the GM - Cricket Operations while Nadeem Khan is the team's manager.[5][6]
Franchise history
Few days after the conclusion of PSL 2 Chairman PSL Najam Sethi announced that there would be the sixth team in next season of PSL. PCB short-listed five names for sixth team.
On 1 June 2017, from those five regions, Multan was bought by Schön Properties after winning a bid of US$5.2 million per year, thus becoming the most expensive team of the PSL replacing Karachi Kings then.[7]
2018 season
The Sultans began their inaugural campaign on a winning note as they defeated defending champions, Peshawar Zalmi, by 7 wickets in the chase of 152 runs.[8] In the following game, they beat Lahore Qalandars by 43 runs owing to a massive batting collapse induced by the Sultans' bowlers Junaid Khan and Imran Tahir. The former registered a hattrick as the duo reduced the Qalandars from 132-4 to 136 all-out.[9] However, the team's winning run came to an end in the next fixture as they lost to Islamabad United by 5 wickets in the defense of a below-par target of 114.[10]
As the league progressed to Sharjah, Sultans' game against Karachi Kings was washed out due to persistent rain.[11]
Team identity
On 1 August, it was announced that Wasim Akram would switch his occupied position as the Director of Cricketing Operations from Islamabad United to the Multan Sultans franchise for the 2018 PSL.[5] Earlier, it was rumoured that Waqar Younis will unite with Akram to join the team Multan Sultans,[12][13] though he replaced Akram's position at Islamabad United on 14 September.[14]
Team's logo and kit was revealed in a ceremony, held on 22 September 2017. Owner Asher Schön said, "It is great to see everyone welcoming Multan Sultans, the love and enthusiasm is surreal and makes us feel very proud on making the right choice of the team". Team director Wasim Akram shared that the third season of PSL "will be a treat for the crowd which will now get to see more home games".[15]
It was also announced that former Australian cricketer Tom Moody has been appointed as a coach of the team.[4]
Team's anthem Hum Hain Multan kay Sultans for 2018 season was sung by singer Waqar Ehsin.
Pakistan film stars Momal Sheikh, Javed Sheikh, Ahsan Khan, Neelam Munir and Actress Sadia Khan are the team's star ambassadors in 2018 season.[16][17]
