Ali Khan Tareen, the bold and outspoken owner of the Multan Sultans in the Pakistan Super League, has decided to stop fighting with the Pakistan Cricket Board and PSL officials and leave the league. He shared a short message with fans saying, “Goodbye.”

"I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea, and I'm okay with that. But I have always been honest and I have always spoken my mind. I never learned how to play it safe or just play along. That simply isn't who I am. And if staying means compromising those principles there is only one choice I can make," he said.

"I would rather lose this team while standing on my feet than run it from my knees. So, this is goodbye," Ali Khan Tareen said.

Tareen, who is in his mid-30s, was always in conflict with the PSL and PCB bosses. He often mocked their decisions in interviews and on social media. When the PCB sent him a notice asking for a public apology, he made a scene by tearing it up in public and challenged their authority.

Later, when it was time to renew his franchise deal, the PCB did not give him an extension. They also didn’t share the valuation report prepared by Ernst & Young, even though they were believed to be required to share this information, since his team was never officially suspended or cancelled.

"Since the franchise agreement had neither been suspended nor terminated, Multan Sultans was a compliant franchise. In this background, by not sharing EY reports as well as a fresh offer letter, the PCB was in breach of contract. Also, the cost of the EY valuation exercise was done through the PSL funds, and Multan Sultans had contributed to this exercise," a source said.

"Despite the financial losses year after year, I never once thought about walking away. The Sultans have always meant more to me than just numbers. And I have always been willing to go as far as needed to protect it," he said.

"Please know that this team has always been much more than its owner. It belongs to you and to South Punjab. So whoever takes control of the Sultans next, please keep supporting them with the same passion. You can count on me to be in the stands supporting them too," he added.

The Multan Sultans team was first owned by the UAE-based Schon Group. When they pulled out in 2018, the Tareen family took over. They paid about $6.3 million every year, making Multan Sultans the costliest team in the PSL. Over seven years, Tareen is believed to have paid around $44 million to the PCB in franchise fees. A source said that overall, he spent about PKR 7.2 billion on the PSL but earned back only PKR 1.7 billion, which means he faced a big loss. On the field, Multan Sultans performed well. They won the PSL title in 2021 and reached the finals in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
