| PCB Legal Notice in Viral Video / Photo File (@dhillow) |
Ali Khan Tareen, owner of Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Multan Sultans, made headlines after publicly tearing up a legal notice issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The video, shared widely on social media, came as a sarcastic response to the PCB’s demands that he retract his criticisms of the league’s management, which he described as stagnant and mediocre.
The legal notice, issued last month, threatened termination of Tareen’s franchise and a lifetime ban for allegedly breaching agreements with the league. In his video response, Tareen highlighted his personal investment of 7 billion rupees in player development and franchise operations, emphasizing the risks and losses he has endured to support the PSL.
The act of defiance has sparked a wave of support from fans, journalists, and political figures, though some analysts caution that the dispute should be resolved privately to protect the league’s stability ahead of PSL Season 11 in 2026. The controversy raises questions about franchise rights, league governance, and the balance between accountability and investment in Pakistan’s premier cricket competition.
