Key points

KARACHI: Team Rawalpindi on Wednesday confirmed the signing of four players ahead of the landmark 11th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), which will be held from 26 March to 3 May.
The franchise revealed its selections before the much-anticipated player auction scheduled for 11 February.
Rawalpindi have brought in Mohammad Rizwan, Sam Billings, Zaman Khan and Yasir Khan across various categories.
Rizwan was secured in the Platinum category for PKR 56 million, while England batter Sam Billings joined in the Diamond category for PKR 30.8 million.
Fast bowler Zaman Khan was picked in the Gold category for PKR 11.2 million, whereas Yasir Khan was signed in the Silver category for PKR 6 million.
Multan Sultans
Earlier this week, ownership of Multan Sultans was finalised during a high-profile bidding event at the Expo Centre.
The contest intensified after Walee Technologies returned with a bid of PKR 2.45 billion, leading rival bidders CD Ventures to take a strategic pause before eventually pulling out.
With no further offers, the auctioneer declared Walee Technologies the successful bidder, granting them ownership of the franchise for the next decade.
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi presented the ceremonial key to Walee representatives, who subsequently confirmed the team’s relocation from Multan to Rawalpindi.
