The Sixth Team of Pakistan Super League is a placeholder team that was created after Multan Sultans franchise was terminated by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Ali tareen owner of Multan consortium again select the Multan Sultan name for sixth team. Prior to the start of the fourth season, Schon Properties failed to pay the $5.2 million annual fee, and that led to the cancellation.[1]

The PCB took responsibility of all player and coach contracts while the public tender process takes place to grant the repackaged rights of the team. The PCB asked interested bidders to collect the bidding documents from its offices by 14 December 2018. The financial proposal of the technically qualified bidders is due to be opened on 18 December 2018.[2] The new franchise can choose a new name and a new city. Ali Tareen, son of Jehangir Tareen, has declared intention to bid for the sixth franchise.[3] On 20 December 2018, PSL announced that Ali Tareen-led Multan consortium had won the franchise rights for the sixth team for a seven-year period, by exceeding the PCB's reserve price set at $5.21 million per year.[4] Tareen's bid was for $6.35 million per year, making this the most expensive franchise.[5]
