In PSL 2018, Pakistan Cricket Board attached one more team to the competition, presenting it as a six-team tournament. Multan Sultans have been an exciting addition to the tournament from the beginning. The Sultans almost obtained its position at the top of PSL 2020 but fell short. Schön Properties got the team. Before the PSL 2019 draft, the Multan Sultan owners declined to pay their annual fee of US$5.2 million to PCB, which occurred in contract expiration. Ali Khan Tareen and Taimoor Malik won the team’s rights in 2018, but they could not compete in the draft of the 2019 PSL.
