Multan Sultan (MUL) Squad 2025

The following list includes all the projected players who are now officially part of the Multan Sultans squad for PSL 10. Some names come as no surprise — loyal performers who’ve consistently stood by the team and contributed to its success over the years. With a strong mix of seasoned campaigners and exciting new additions, the MUL are geared up for yet another title challenge.

There are six majorly categories in which the players are divided:

1. Platinum
2. Diamond
3. Gold
4. Silver
5. Emerging
6. Supplementary

There’s no doubt that MUL are entering the tenth edition of PSL with one of the strongest squads in the competition. Leading the charge is none other than Mohammad Rizwan, who is Pakistan’s national team captain, a consistent top-order batter, and one of the best wicketkeepers in the modern game. His leadership has been pivotal in guiding Multan Sultans to the finals in past seasons, and he’s determined to clinch the trophy this time around.

Multan Sultans: Key Players to watch out for

Despite being an overall strong team, there are certain pillars of the team who have contributed much to the success of the team over the years.

1. Mohammad Rizwan
2. Kamran Ghulam
3. Tayyab Tahir
4. Shai Hope
5. Usama Mir
6. David Willey
7. Chris Jordan
8. Michael Bracewell

From 2021 to 2024, Multan Sultans consistently reached the PSL final, showcasing their remarkable performance and team strength. Although they fell short in the finals for three consecutive years, their consistent appearances highlight the strategic efforts of the team management. It’s clear that Multan Sultans carefully build a competitive squad each season, ensuring they remain strong contenders for the title year after year.

In his absence, Michael Bracewell continues with the captaincy after leading the team in the T20I series. In his stead, Henry Nicholls has been brought in, while Mitch Hay will assume the role of the new wicketkeeper.

Latham was set to lead New Zealand with Qd the IPL Santner; however, he suffered an injury earlier this week that did not allow him to participate. Latham did get x-rays to assess the damage. After the first ODI in Napier, Will Young steps out of the squad to support his wife as they prepare to welcome their first child. He is replaced by rhythmic 23-year-old batter Rhys Mariu, who has a first-class career average of 61.73.

Head coach of New Zealand, Garry Stead, spoke of the changes to the squad, admitting they had several players unavailable, and it did indeed pose a challenge; however, it did create opportunities as well. He also honored two players coming into the squad for their performance and remained confident in Bracwell's leadership. “Disappointing as it is losing Tom is, Michael did an excellent job leading the T20I series, and I am pleased to see the shape Michael's leadership of the team is in,” Stead responded. He also extended best wishes to Young and his wife, Elise.

The squad had already included uncapped players Muhammad Abbas and Nick Kelly, while Kane Williamson opted out of the series. New Zealand will now rely on a mix of experience and fresh talent as they take on Pakistan.

Michael Bracewell will lead New Zealand in their five-match T20I series against Pakistan. He also captained the team during their tour of Pakistan last year, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Bracewell is stepping in as captain since Mitchell Santner, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Glenn Phillips, and Rachin Ravindra are all in India for the IPL.

Michael Bracewell will take over as captain for the Pakistan T20Is while Mitchell Santner is unavailable.

He played a big role in the Champions Trophy, where New Zealand finished as runners-up. In the final against India at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, he scored a crucial half-century and took four wickets against Bangladesh. To manage the workload of fast bowlers, Kyle Jamieson and Will O’Rourke will only play the first three matches. Matt Henry, who missed the final against India, will return for the last two games.  

“It’s a huge honor to captain my country. I really enjoyed leading the team in Pakistan last year, and it’s great to have many of the same players in this squad,” Bracewell said in a statement from New Zealand Cricket.

Ben Sears is back after recovering from a hamstring injury, while leg-spinner Ish Sodhi returns after missing the Sri Lanka series. Kane Williamson has decided to sit out and wasn’t considered for selection. Bevon Jacobs, who was in the squad for the recent T20I series against Sri Lanka, couldn’t play as he was busy with the IPL. The T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand begins on Sunday, March 16, at Hagley Oval in Christchurch.

The moment that shocked Indian fans came in the 20th over of India’s innings. Virat Kohli had just walked in after Shubman Gill’s dismissal when New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner introduced Michael Bracewell into the attack. The move paid off immediately, as the off-spinner claimed Kohli’s crucial wicket.

Bowling from over the wicket, Bracewell tossed the ball up, tempting Kohli to play a flick. However, the ball turned sharply and struck him on the front pad. The New Zealand players went up in a loud appeal, and the umpire raised his finger.

India Loses 2 Wickets As Iyer Joins Captain Rohit

Following Kohli’s departure, Shreyas Iyer came to the crease, looking to steady the innings alongside Rohit Sharma, who had already crossed his fifty. At the time of writing, India was 122 for two, with Rohit unbeaten on 76* and Iyer on 9*.

Kusal Perera's Record-Breaking Century Shines in Consolation Victory

In a game where New Zealand had already clinched the series, Kusal Perera played very well in the final T20 match in Nelson with an amazing 101 runs off just 46 deliveries against New Zealand. The man was doing amazingly well, hitting 13 fours and 4 sixes, and he raced to his hundred in only 44 balls, which is the fastest ever by a Sri Lankan in T20s.

Thanks to Perera, Sri Lanka achieved a strikingly large score of 218/5. Charith Asalanka, the team leader, also played a vitally important role and scored a quick 46 from 24 balls, which included hitting the ball very far five times. Perera's amazing play wasn't simply about the runs  it showed that Sri Lanka wasn't giving up without a fight.

Perera was very fortunate he didn't get out two times, first when he had only 15 runs and later when he hit 60. Despite those close calls, he kept going and ended up playing a very special game in T20 for Sri Lanka. He teamed up with Avishka Fernando for a wonderful 41 runs and then went on to add over a hundred runs with Asalanka, helping their team post a solid score.

However, just before the match was about to end, in the second-last over, Perera's time at the crease was cut short when Rachin Ravindra caught him out from Daryl Mitchell's delivery.

Sri Lanka's Sparkling Start and New Zealand's Fielding Brilliance

In the game, Sri Lanka decided to be the first to bat, which was a first for them in the series. They began very well, getting 24 in just the first three overs. Then, something spectacular happened. Mitchell Hay pulled off an amazing play in the field. Hay ran after a ball that flew high towards the edge, jumped to catch it, threw it in play before he went out of bounds, and then caught it again.

Because of Hay's amazing catch, Pathum Nissanka had to leave the game with only 14 runs.

Perera dominated, making it utterly hard or difficult for New Zealand to catch up. Even though Kusal Mendis got out quickly after scoring 22 in 16 balls because Michael Bracewell caught him very nicely off Mitch Santner's play, it didn't throw off Sri Lanka. They remained calm, mostly thanks to Perera's amazing performance.

This win was a morale booster for Sri Lanka, showcasing their potential and resilience, even in the face of a lost series.

The 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) player auction will take place in Dubai on December 19 for the first time outside India. The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), who have done well in their first two seasons, will look to bring in a few outstanding players to construct a strong squad for the upcoming season. 

With five slots remaining, the Lucknow-based business has INR 13.9 Crores in the bank. In both seasons, KL Rahul’s team made the playoffs but failed to win a game in the knockout stages. Let’s look at the three players LSG can pursue in the IPL 2024 mini-auction as they seek to break the impasse this time. 

• Michael Bracewell

Michael Bracewell, the Kiwi talent, might be one of the Lucknow Super Giants’ best bargains at the IPL 2024 auctions in Dubai. Bracewell is a useful off-spinner who can be a deadly hitter in the end stages of an innings. If LSG can get the Kiwi, he will significantly impact ending games and meeting the team’s spinning criteria. 

• Kartik Tyagi

LSG traded bowler Avesh Khan to Rajasthan Royals for top-order batsman Devdutt Padikkal. So, there is a need for an Indian fast bowler, and Kartik Tyagi is the ideal candidate for the job. The 23-year-old has 15 wickets in 19 IPL outings and has bowled some outstanding death overs. Given his potential, LSG may place an offer for him at the future auction.

• Hrithik Shokeen

Hrithik Shokeen will not be a regular starter for the Lucknow Super Giants, but he can serve as an excellent backup to Krishnappa Gowtham. Deepak Hooda had a miserable season, and if he doesn’t step up, LSG will be forced to rely on Gowtham as an off-spinner.

Hrithik Shokeen adds value as a batter and can bat in the bottom order if necessary. He also has past league experience, which would be beneficial to him. As a result, Shokeen might be included in LSG’s IPL 2024 auction plan.
