Owner: Multan Consortium
Captain: Mohammad Rizwan
Coach: Abdul Rehman
Previous edition: Runners-up
Multan Sultans were among the most formidable and consistent teams in PSL 2023. They won six matches and ended in the second position on the points table. They reached till final but failed to cross the line by the thinnest possible margin of one run against Lahore Qalandars.
They have reached the final consistently for the last three years but failed to win the final game. As they enter a fresh season, the Sultans hope to go further and clinch the title. They will again have the same captain – Mohammad Rizwan.
Several personnel changes exist, as the Multans have let a few prominent players go. Still, they have an exciting team with plenty of match-winners. Abdul Rehman is a newly appointed coach, replacing Andy Flower.
Mohammad Rizwan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Usama Mir, Abbas Afridi, Faisal Akram, Dawid Malan, Reeze Hendricks, Tayyab Tahir, Shahnawaz Dahani, Mohammad Ali, Usman Khan, Yasir Khan, Chris Jordan, Aftab Ibrahim, David Willey, Johnson Charles, Muhammad Shahzad

Multan Sultans have numerous T20 globetrotters in each department.
Multan Sultans have one of the most prolific T20 run-scorers in Mohammad Rizwan and Dawid Malan.
Multan have some terrific pace-hitters and depth in the batting unit.
There is a nice LHB-RHB pair throughout the batting order.
They have different varieties and options in the bowling unit.
Multan’s batting unit is vulnerable to spin bowling.
The injury to their two premium pacers – Reece Topley and Ihsanullah – has shrunk the quality of pace bowling. The current attack might be expensive in death overs.
The backups of regular players aren’t as great.
Multan Sultans have always been a strong unit with some big names in the squad. They will definitely contest hard and be among the title contenders this season. But the Sultans are not as strong as last season, and injuries have dented their squad further.
Rizwan will have to lead with the willow from the top again. Abbas Afridi bowled well in the previous season and will hold the key again in the pace department. Still, it will be an area of concern, especially if the tracks are similar to the last edition.
