Walee Technologies Takes Over
The franchise was recently acquired by Walee Technologies for Rs 2.45 billion after a competitive bidding process.
Owner Ahsan Tahir exercised the right under PSL regulations to rename and reposition the team.
The acquisition followed the decision by former owner Ali Tareen not to renew ownership after PSL season 10.
During the transition, the Pakistan Cricket Board temporarily managed the franchise.
PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi had earlier confirmed the board would oversee operations while a long-term solution was finalized.
From Multan Sultans to Pindiz
Previously operating as the Multan Sultans, the franchise has now undergone a complete identity shift.
The PCB had earlier auctioned two additional teams:
- Hyderabad Houston Kingsmen
- Sialkot Stallionz
After those successful sales, the former Multan-based franchise was also placed back on the market.
Walee Technologies emerged as the highest bidder, with CD Venturers submitting the second-highest bid before withdrawing.
