‘‘I am very excited to welcome Iftikhar Ahmed. He brings outstanding all-rounder skills, which we need to be a champion team.’’


‘‘It was not only his on field skills that made us finalise this trade, but he is also a brilliant team player who uplifts dressing rooms with his presence. We are eager to put together a set of players whose skills are in sync with our positive, bold and aggressive brand of cricket.’’

With this trade, Multan Sultans now also have the first trade in the PSL 9 draft which is scheduled to take place on 13 February in Lahore.


Rossouw rejoined Quetta Gladiators, the team he won the PSL trophy within 2019 and was also the second top-scorer by scoring 39 runs in the final against Peshawar Zalmi.
