As it can be unfair with the rest of the team who reached semi-finals, the trophy shall not be handed over to Multan Sultans. Wasim says that other teams to have the potential to lift the PSL trophy.
“There’s no fun, right, in just handing it over to Multan Sultans at the moment? Although they’ll probably be pushing for that. Our first point is to go for completion and if it can’t happen then as other leagues around the world have done is to then declare a winner,” he maintained.
