In a dramatic turn of events, Multan Sultans owner Ali Tareen publicly tore up the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) legal notice, issued over the termination of the franchise’s Pakistan Super League (PSL) contract. The bold act has sparked major controversy in Pakistan’s cricketing circles, highlighting rising tensions between the franchise management and the PCB.
According to sources, the PCB had served the legal notice citing contractual violations and pending dues, prompting a strong reaction from Tareen, who called the notice “unjust and politically motivated.” During a press interaction, he stated, “We built this team with passion and transparency — no one can question our commitment to Pakistani cricket.”
The incident has fueled debate among fans and analysts, with some supporting Tareen’s defiance as a stand against unfair treatment, while others have urged both parties to resolve the matter through dialogue. The PCB has yet to issue an official response following the incident.
