Multan Sultans joined the PSL party in 2018 when Najam Sethi announced they will be adding a sixth team to the tournament to increase competition.

The franchise has had an upward trend from 2020 when they first reached the playoffs and then in 2021 under the leadership of Mohammad Rizwan they won their first title by defeating Peshawar Zalmi in the final by 47 runs. The fans from Punjab and Multan are very eager to find out details about the Multan Sultans squad 2024 as well as the Multan Sultans fixtures for PSL season 8.

Multan Sultans Retentions PSL 2024
The management of Multan Sultans heavily relies on the stats and technical aspects of the game before finalizing the Multan Sultans team squad 2024. This year will be no different and the selection panel including coaches and captain will again go through intense analysis to select the best possible squad for Multan Sultans PSL 9. They have already announced their seven retentions for PSL 2024 which are as follows.
- Mohammad Rizwan (Platinum)
- Iftikhar Ahmed (Platinum)
- Khushdil Shah (Diamond)
- Usama Mir (Diamond)
- Abbas Afridi (Gold)
- Ihsanullah (Brand Ambassador, Silver)
- Faisal Akram (Emerging)
Multan Sultans captain 2024 will again be Mohammad Rizwan who was a no-brainer for them to retain in the Platinum category. However, they have played a tactical move by retaining only seven players from last year’s squad which gives them more chances to pick and choose quality players at the PSL 2024 draft event. Plus they are also the only team that retained only local players and it was because their foreign players had notified them that they are not available for this season.
Iftikhar Ahmed has also joined Multan from Quetta after they released Rilee Rossouw who has been instrumental in Multan’s success over the years.
It came as a surprise for Multan fans when they decided to release Shan Masood who has been a very key player for this franchise and he is among the leadership group but Karachi Kings was offering Shan a leadership role and he is the current test team captain so the decision to trade did make sense interms of equal competition.
Multan Sultans PSL Draft 2024 Pick Order
The head coach and team statistician will be looking to rope in some big foreign players in the upcoming PSL draft 2024 to strengthen and balance the Multan Sultans squad 2024 PSL. They lost the final last year which they do not want to repeat and this might be the reason they did not go too heavy in their platinum retentions this year. Like previous years, fans can expect the Multan squad 2024 list to have some unknown foreign players like Tim David perform on the big stage and then become a vital part of T20 cricket all around the world. The pick order for Multan Sultans PSL 9 in Draft 2024 is as follows.
With Mushtaq Ahmed in their coaching panel, we very much expect Multan Sultans to go for Wanindu Hasaranga if they are given a chance in the Platinum category to strengthen their spin bowling department. There could be many surprises for fans in the PSL draft 2024 regarding which local and foreign players they opt for to create a well-balanced winning combination for season 8 after the heartbreaks they had in the final last year.
