Ahead of PSL 2020, here’s the Multan Sultans team preview and squad list, as we try to figure out if the newest Pakistan Super League team can finally make an impact on the latter stages.

The newest team in the Pakistan Super League, having been the side added when the competition expanded from five to six participants in 2018, Multan Sultans are yet to qualify for the latter stages, having finished second from bottom in both campaigns. While they were one point off third place in 2018, only net run rate stopped them from ending 2019 dead last in the standings since their introduction in the competition two seasons ago.

Moeen Ali: Moeen hasn’t been a part of England’s international set-up since the 2019 Ashes and when his break from Test cricket will end has been a subject of fervent debate in English circles. Should he return to action in England whites in Sri Lanka, Multan Sultans might not see much of him, but if he doesn’t, the Worcestershire all-rounder may feel he has a point to prove, and a place in England’s T20I starting XI to nail down with the the T20 World Cup less than nine months away. He had an outstanding run in the 2019 T20 Blast, with 375 runs from seven innings, including a magnificent 121* against Sussex in the quarter-final, while his off-spin might prove useful on Pakistani surfaces.

Play-offs: The fifth season of the PSL, and Multan Sultans’ second, might well be the one where Shan Masood’s team turn it around. They have enough firepower and depth in both departments, more so in the bowling, which often proves to be decisive in T20 competitions. The strong influence of the newly appointed head coach Andy Flower promises far better results than in the previous seasons.
