The Pakistan Cricket Board is currently addressing ownership disputes involving two Pakistan Super League franchises, with formal complaints submitted to league chief executive Salman Naseer. The issues concern the newly auctioned Sialkot franchise and the established Lahore Qalandars, according to reports cited by PTI. The Sialkot team, recently acquired for PKR 185 crore by a consortium, has become the centre of a disagreement over majority control. One of the principal investors, Muhammad Shahid, claims he holds a 76 per cent stake in the franchise. He has alleged that minority partners, collectively holding 24 per cent, are attempting to negotiate and sell shares without his consent. a report from PTI quoted a source saying, “The majority shareholder has informed the PSL CEO that minority partners are trying to negotiate deals and offload more shares than they own."

He maintains that discussions regarding further equity transactions are being conducted without his knowledge. The Sialkot consortium includes Kamil Khan, described as a close relative of one of Pakistan’s former captains. However, sources clarified that Khan is not connected to the present dispute. League officials have not publicly commented on the matter, but the complaint has been placed before the PSL administration for review. The situation adds uncertainty to the operations of the newly formed franchise ahead of league activities. Lahore Qalandars Ownership Question Raised In a separate but concurrent development, Fawad Rana, one of the original owners of Lahore Qalandars, has approached Salman Naseer regarding majority ownership concerns. Court documents cited by PTI indicate that Rana filed a case against his brothers, Atif Rana and Sameer Rana, alleging that shares in his company were sold without his knowledge. The court delivered a verdict in Fawad Rana’s favour. Following that ruling, he formally raised the issue with the PSL CEO. The PCB now faces the administrative task of reviewing both matters within the framework of league governance. While the disputes are distinct, they involve significant shareholding structures within two franchises, placing scrutiny on ownership clarity in the Pakistan Super League.
