RAWALPINDI: The new Rawalpindi franchise in the 11th edition of the Pakistan Super League has officially announced its team name as ‘Pindiz’.
Wali Tech acquired the franchise for PKR 2.45 billion at the auction which displayed the former Multan Sultans. The franchise maintained its existing team organization but the owners opted to switch the city connection from Multan to Rawalpindi.
A 25-second video on social media introduced the team name through its display of Rawalpindi’s famous landmarks with accompanying cheerful music. The video caption read:
“The official name of the Rawalpindi team is now ‘Pindiz’. We face our opponents without fear while we bring fresh power to the game.
The franchise has also announced that the team logo will be unveiled soon.
The PSL 11 tournament will occur from March 26 to May 3 2026 and fans have started to anticipate the event.
The Pakistan Cricket Board reopened team bidding after Ali Khan Tareen refused to extend his 10-year ownership agreement for the former Multan Sultans.
