Ali Tareen warns PCB of legal action over Multan Sultans’ PSL status
By Nawaz Gohar ; Multan Sultans owner Ali Tareen has warned the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that he will be left with no option but to pursue legal action if any attempt is made to exclude his franchise from the upcoming edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
In a post on social media, Ali Tareen said that both the PCB and PSL management have “completely ignored” him and his franchise, adding that several of his emails remain unanswered. He revealed that he also wrote directly to the PCB chairman, but has received no response so far.
Tareen further stated that although they responded to a legal notice sent earlier by the PCB, there has been no follow-up communication from the board.
According to him, despite multiple attempts, the PCB has still not clarified why Multan Sultans have not been issued the new valuation and reassessment letter required under the PSL process. He added that other franchises have also questioned the PCB about the matter, but the board has offered no explanation.
Ali Tareen said he wishes to resolve all outstanding issues with the PCB through dialogue and mutual understanding. However, if the board’s “non-cooperative behaviour” continues, he said he will have no choice but to initiate legal proceedings.
