The Pakistan Cricket Board has begun consultations to appoint an interim management for Multan Sultans ahead of the upcoming Pakistan Super League season 11. Several former national cricketers are under consideration, sources confirmed.
According to sources, the PCB is considering Abdul Razzaq, Mushtaq Ahmed, and Taufeeq Umar for key roles in the Multan Sultans’ coaching and management setup. The names are being reviewed as part of a broader restructuring plan.
Mushtaq Ahmed’s prior association
Former league spinner Mushtaq Ahmed has previously worked with Multan Sultans as a spin consultant, giving him familiarity with the franchise’s environment. His past involvement is seen as a factor strengthening his candidacy.
Ramiz Raja for administrative matters
Sources also revealed that former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja is being considered for administrative responsibilities related to the franchise. However, no formal role has yet been finalized.

The final structure of Multan Sultans’ management will be confirmed only after the approval of Mohsin Naqvi, sources said. The PCB chairman’s clearance will be decisive in finalizing both coaching and administrative appointments.
PCB to manage all affairs during PSL 11
For PSL 11, the PCB will directly look after all operational and administrative affairs of Multan Sultans. This arrangement will remain in place throughout the season.
Sources added that the PCB plans to finalize a new owner for Multan Sultans after the conclusion of PSL 11. Until then, the board will continue overseeing the franchise.
Former owner Ali Tareen had earlier said goodbye to Multan Sultans after not receiving a PSL renewal letter. His exit prompted the PCB to step in and manage the team temporarily.
