Ashton Turner named Multan Sultans captain ahead of PSL 11

Multan Sultans have announced Australia’s Ashton Turner as the new captain of the franchise ahead of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 11, set to run from March 26 to May 3.

The appointment was confirmed via the team’s official social media channels, alongside the signing of the seasoned middle-order batter and five-time Big Bash League (BBL) champion.

Turner, 33, has established himself as a T20 specialist across multiple global leagues, including the BBL, Men’s The Hundred, IPL, SA20, and the CPL.

In his T20 career so far, he has amassed 4,103 runs in 252 matches at a strike rate of 142.56, including 17 fifties, while also claiming 38 wickets.

Internationally, Turner has featured in 19 T20Is for Australia, scoring 110 runs and taking four wickets.

Turner previously played for Multan Sultans in the last PSL season, appearing in three matches and scoring 15 runs.

He now succeeds Mohammad Rizwan, who captained the Sultans in 58 matches, winning 33 and losing 25, with a win percentage of 56.89%.

Rizwan notably led the team to their maiden PSL title in 2021, defeating Peshawar Zalmi in the final. However, in PSL 11, Rizwan will be leading the new PSL franchise Pindiz.

Notably, the revival of Multan Sultans for PSL 11 comes after a series of last-minute franchise changes.

The original Sultans franchise was acquired by the Walee Group and rebranded as Pindiz, initially raising doubts about the team’s participation.

However, on March 3, the PSL franchise formerly known as Sialkot Stallionz was rebranded as Multan Sultans following a majority takeover by CD Ventures.

Gohar Shah, CEO of CD Ventures, acquired the majority stake from OZ Developers, who had purchased the franchise for PKR 1.85 billion, raising the franchise’s annual valuation to PKR 2 billion.

Turner’s magic powers Scorchers into BBL Final

PERTH: Perth Scorchers’ skipper Ashton Turner played a scintillating 87-run knock in the run chase to steer his side to thump Sydney Sixers and into the final of the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL).

Set to chase 152, Turner led from the front after his side’s dismal start as he stitched an astounding partnership with opener Cameron Bancroft and led his team to triumph.

Earlier, the Scorchers were off to a shaky start as the home side were 22/3 in four overs with Stephen Eskinazi (4), Aaron Hardie (9) and Josh Inglish (0) failing to chip in.

Following the slump, Turner turned the game on its head with his belligerent hitting and put on an unbeaten partnership with Bancroft, who anchored the stand with a gritty half-century.

Turner top-scored for her side with 84 off just 47 deliveries, hitting nine boundaries and a six.

Bancroft, on the other hand, was also impressive with his 45-ball 54 that featured six boundaries.

Sean Abbott remained the only successful bowler for the Sixers with his brilliant figures of 3/25 as the rest went wicketless.

After opting to bat first, the Sixers could raise 151/8 in their set of overs despite a brilliant half-century by skipper Moises Henriques.

Henriques top-scored for his side with 58 off 43 balls and smashed three fours and as many sixes and also put on an incredible fourth-wicket partnership with Jordan Silk, who fell three short of his half-century.

Silk scored 47 off 34 deliveries and smashed four boundaries including a six.

Besides the duo, no Sixers batter could make significant contributions with only two of them amassing double figures.

David Payne led the bowling attack for the Scorchers with 3/33 while Jason Behrendorff followed with 2/17. Aaron Hardie and Andrew Tye struck a wicket each.
