There seems to be another contender in line for 'The Sixth Team', formerly known as Multan Sultans, for the upcoming edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL),

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Jahangir Khan Tareen's son Ali Tareen has already expressed interest in bidding for the sixth team, but now, he may have found a competitor. 

Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi’s son Zain Hussain Qureshi has hinted at a possible interest in acquiring the franchise. In an ambiguous tweet posted earlier, the younger Qureshi said that he wants the sixth team to stay in Multan.

“South Punjab has given Pakistan some great cricketers…the sixth franchise must stay in Multan. PSL can do with some saraiki tarqa,” Zain Qureshi tweeted.

Not too long ago, Ali Tareen had said he would be interested in buying the sixth PSL franchise. Recently, however, he said he was reconsidering his plan to bid for the team as he expressed his reservations about the estimated price of the team. 

The Pakistan Cricket Board on November 10 terminated the franchise's agreement with Schon Properties after they failed to meet their financial obligations.

Following the termination of the contract, all rights in respect of the team were reverted back to the PCB.
