      <title>PCB to hold auction for Multan Sultans after successful PSL expansion</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330450765/pcb-to-hold-auction-for-multan-sultans-after-successful-psl-expansion</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to arrange an auction for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Multan Sultans, sources said on Sunday&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PCB had earlier announced that it would manage the Multan Sultans itself for PSL 11.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, under new developments, the board has now decided to put the franchise up for sale.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The decision follows the successful auction of two new PSL teams, which exceeded the PCB’s expectations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Encouraged by the strong prices fetched by the new franchises, the board believes this is an opportune time to auction Multan Sultans as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The sources said the franchise will be offered through an open bidding process, with an advertisement to be issued soon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A formal announcement in this respect will be made after reviewing the legal aspects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following the record sale of two franchises and growing interest from foreign investors, several potential buyers have reportedly expressed interest in acquiring Multan Sultans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PCB is optimistic that the franchise will attract a strong price at auction.&lt;/p&gt;
