We accept PCB’s rescheduling decision: Multan Sultans’ director

Multan Sultans’ Director Nadeem Khan on Monday confirmed that the franchise supports the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) decision to reschedule two matches of PSL 10.

The PCB, on Sunday, announced that due to operational challenges and intense heat in parts of the country, the May 1 double-header between Multan Sultans and Karachi Kings would be moved from the Multan Cricket Stadium to Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

Additionally, the final Multan-leg fixture — originally scheduled against Quetta Gladiators — will now be played on the evening of May 11.

Speaking to the media, Nadeem Khan confirmed that the franchise was consulted ahead of the rescheduling.

“We have been consulted to shift the match. We were given three options that we accepted,” he said.

While acknowledging the downside, he made it clear that the Sultans remain aligned with the PCB’s intent.

“The decision has caused us financial loss and fans have been deprived of cricket, but we stand by the PCB’s decision,” Nadeem added.

It’s worth noting that Multan Sultans, the finalists in every PSL edition since their 2021 title win, are surprisingly struggling in PSL 10. With just two points from six games, they sit at the bottom of the table.

When asked about the underperformance, Nadeem didn’t shy away from calling out the gap in execution, particularly from their high-profile foreign signings.

“Our overseas players haven’t performed the way we expected this time,” he admitted.

However, he was quick to acknowledge the efforts of local performers.

“Ubaid Shah has bowled really well in this tournament,” he noted. “Rizwan is our top scorer, and Kamran Ghulam has delivered whenever he’s been given an opportunity.”

Despite posting competitive totals in a few matches, Nadeem pointed out that the team has been leaking runs at crucial stages.

“We’ve put up good totals, but unfortunately, we haven’t been able to defend them — our bowling has been lacking,” he remarked.

Nadeem Khan highlights significance of Champions One-Day Cup

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Director High-Performance and Tournament Director Nadeem Khan highlighted the significance of the Champions One-Day Cup, outlining its salient features.

The inaugural Champions One-Day Cup is set to take place at the Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad from 12-29 September.

Team mentors of the five sides include Misbah-ul-Haq (Wolves), Saqlain Mushtaq (Panthers), Sarfaraz Ahmed (Dolphins), Shoaib Malik (Stallions) and Waqar Younis (Lions), while the PCB announced the captains and provisional squads on Friday.

The tournament featuring the top players across the country will be a 50-over competition played on a single-league format. All matches will start at 3pm, except for the match between Lions and Panthers on September 16, which will begin at 9.30am.

“The concept of the Champions One-Day Cup was initiated in April and we launched it in July. The PCB decided to bring together the best of the best players from its local competitions in order to bridge the gap between domestic and international cricket,” said Nadeem Khan.

“For the first time, all the five teams have been allocated their respective regional academies so that the players can train and work on their skills throughout the year. The best thing about the concept is the teams have highly experienced and dedicated mentors who will not only manage the men’s Champions teams but will also be involved at the women’s and age-group cricket, which will have positive effects on Pakistan cricket.

“The five high-profile mentors understand the requirements of the international cricket and they will prepare the players accordingly in the domestic competitions.

“Pakistan’s white-ball head coach Gary Kirsten will be arriving on 12 September to witness the entire Champions One-Day Cup and it will surely be exciting for him to work in the domestic circuit in order to look into the young talent with an eye on the upcoming white-ball assignments in Australia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, followed by the home tri-national series and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Nadeem Khan asserted that the inaugural Champions One-Day Cup will unearth new talent and bolster Pakistan’s preparations for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy.

“The Champions One-Day Cup will help us unearth future white-ball prospects for the Pakistan’s white-ball teams, also marking the start of the preparation for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

“Having the Champions Cup in September will allow us to give an extended opportunity to the top performers of this tournament in International cricket before the mega-event commences home.

“With all the national players taking part in the Champions One-Day Cup, the intensity and quality of this domestic tournament will only go up and help us determine the emerging players who can thrive and perform under pressure when they represent Pakistan in future.

“The squads comprise of a good mixture of young and experienced players, and one of our goals is to provide quality dressing room and on-filed exposure and experience to the emerging and U19 players part of the Champions One-Day Cup squads.

“Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad (having hosted 24 Tests, 16 ODIs) has been a regular host of international cricket till 2008, but now we have worked actively with the local authorities to bring a high-profile tournament to the city and look forward to a large number of fans attending the Champions One-Day Cup.

“As far as the tournament taking place between two home Test series is concerned, it needs to be understood that this tournament was already in the pipeline since April. All the Boards around the world have their set domestic structures and the tournaments take place according to respective scheduled windows instead of altering them in light of the upcoming home international assignments.

“Moreover, the players in this day and age are professional and used to switching between formats that it should not be a huge concern. In fact, their presence has added quality to the first major domestic tournament of the 2024-25 season.”
