The franchise has signed players like Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Mahmudullah Riyad, George Linde, and Obed McCoy.

George Linde won’t be available as he has been named in South Africa’s Test squad for the tour of the West Indies. Obed McCoy may also miss the remainder of PSL due to personal reasons.

With the likes of James Vince, Adam Lyth, and Chris Lynn not returning for the second phase of PSL, the focus will be on the experienced trio of Mohammad Rizwan, Rilee Rossouw, and Shan Masood to do the bulk of the scoring.

With the ball, Mohammad Rizwan has been nothing short of sensational this season. He has shown incredible consistency at the top of the innings. He is currently the leading run-getter for Multan Sultans this season.

Besides, Former South African batsman, Rilee Rossouw will be looking for redemption in this second phase of the tournament. Earlier this season, Rossouw struggled for form and could only score 50 runs in five outings at an average of 16.66. With Vince and Lyth not there, Rossouw is expected to higher in the batting department this time around.
