  "textContent": "The Multan Sultans are on the brink of making a high-profile comeback to the Pakistan Super League (PSL), as a franchise identity switch gathers momentum ahead of the 2026 season.\n\nSources reveal that CD Ventures has formally requested the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to rename the newly launched Sialkot Stallionz franchise as Multan Sultans. An official announcement from the PCB is expected soon, confirming the return of the South Punjab-based team.\n\nThe development comes after an ownership shake-up at Sialkot. OZ Developers, initially awarded the franchise during the league’s expansion, reportedly faced financial difficulties, paving the way for CD Ventures, led by Gohar Shah, to take near-total control. The new owners are now moving to revive an established brand rather than starting from scratch.\n\nThe Multan Sultans name became available after the previous franchise using it was rebranded as Rawalpindi following an ownership transfer involving Walee Technologies. For the league, the move promises a ready-made fan base, a clear home-ground narrative, and a marketable identity that resonates with South Punjab supporters.\n\nPSL CEO Salman Naseer has indicated that the league will soon confirm details regarding the franchise’s new ownership and identity. Fans are eagerly awaiting the official word on the Sultans’ return.\n\nThe post Multan Sultans make a comeback: Sialkot Stallionz rebranded for PSL 2026 appeared first on HUM News.",
