Gohar Shah said the team’s training camp will officially begin on March 22, where players and coaching staff will start preparations for the upcoming Pakistan Super League season.

Gohar Shah confirmed that Ashton Turner has been appointed as the team captain. He said Turner’s experience in Pakistani conditions and international leagues will help guide young players and improve team performance.

The owner shared that several major changes have already been made to the squad. Seven new players have been added, while two players have been traded from other teams, and five have been signed directly.

He added that more changes could happen as discussions with other franchises are still ongoing.

Gohar Shah explained that the decision to appoint Turner as captain was made after consulting with coach Tim Paine and other members of the coaching staff.

Talking about finances, Gohar Shah admitted that the franchise may face losses in the early years. However, he said the management is ready to bear losses for up to three years.

He expressed hope that revenue will increase in the future through sponsorships, partnerships, and new media rights deals.

The owner also shared his personal journey in cricket. He said he played at various levels, including Under-15, Under-19, and first-class cricket, and also represented teams in England.

He added that he was a left-arm fast bowler but had to leave cricket due to a back injury.

Gohar Shah also spoke about how he became the owner of Multan Sultans. He said he initially missed out on buying a franchise during the auction but later got an opportunity through a partnership deal.
