Gohar Shah Takes Over Multan Sultans Ahead of PSL 11, marking a major shift in Pakistan Super League 2026. The new owner, through the CD Ventures acquisition, now leads the team previously known as Sialkot Stallionz. This Multan takeover ensures strong South Punjab cricket representation and strengthens the PSL franchise’s identity. Fans and cricket experts alike are eager to see the team’s performance under Shah’s leadership.
Earlier in 2026, CD Ventures completed the Rs 1.85 billion deal, taking control from OZ Developers. PSL CEO Salman Naseer and outgoing owner Hamza Majeed confirmed the franchise’s rebranding at a Lahore press conference. Following this transition, the team’s valuation rose to Rs 2 billion annually. Shah emphasized regional pride and the importance of playing exciting, competitive cricket in PSL Season 11.
Gohar Shah highlighted his personal connection to the region, recalling his Jalalpur Pirwala cricket memories. He spoke about local matches at Haveli Lang school ground, emphasizing unity and community spirit. This emotional connection inspired his motivation behind the franchise acquisition and commitment to elevating Pakistan’s cricket ecosystem. Shah urged fans to support Multan Sultans, noting the team’s remarkable record of reaching four finals in the last five PSL seasons.
The takeover also recognized contributions from the Tareen family and key advisors, including Barrister Najaf Shah and Imran Ahmad Khan. Shah’s focus on franchise ownership transition demonstrates his long-term vision for competitive success. With PSL 11 preparations underway, the Multan Sultans under Gohar Shah are set to be one of the league’s powerhouses.
The Multan takeover is more than a business move; it reflects regional pride, strategic cricket investment, and renewed hope for PSL supporters. Fans can now anticipate thrilling matches and strong representation in the Pakistan Super League 2026.
