LAHORE: Former champions Multan Sultans have completed a strategic transfer deal, sending all-rounder Saad Masood to the newly introduced Rawalpindi-based franchise Pindiz ahead of the 11th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), which runs from 26 March to 3 May.
The transaction, confirmed by the franchise on Monday, is designed to provide the Sultans with greater financial flexibility as they refine their squad for the upcoming campaign.
Under the terms of the agreement, Pindiz will acquire Masood and assume full responsibility for his salary purse for the duration of the season. In return, Multan Sultans will receive an additional cash consideration of 500,000 rupees.
The clearance of salary cap space, coupled with the incoming funds, is expected to enable the Sultans’ management to further optimize their roster and pursue signings aligned with their “total cricket” philosophy.
In an official statement, the Sultans expressed gratitude to the departing player: “The Multan Sultans would like to take this opportunity to thank Saad Masood and wish him all the best as he embarks on this new chapter of his career with Rawalpindi Pindiz.”
