Pakistan Super League franchise Multan Sultans offered fast bowler Ihsanullah a big opportunity after his exclusion from the upcoming season of the league.

 

Ihsanullah will represent the departmental team of Multan Sultans in the upcoming season of the President's Cup Grade Two tournament. This announcement was made after Multan Sultans' owner, Ali Tareen, offered him a job on Wednesday.

 

Ihsanullah will play for JDW in Grade Two of the President's Cup in April/May. To regain full fitness and form, he will also utilise the facilities of Multan Sultans.

 

"Multan Sultans will collaborate with Ihsanullah to bring him back for the next PSL season. We will support him and work with him to ensure his return," Tareen stated.

 

He also praised Ihsanullah, calling him “an asset” for the team and the country.

 

“We will do everything possible to help him regain full fitness and form. Fast bowlers like Ihsanullah are born once in a generation. They need protection, and Multan Sultans are committed to nurturing and producing world-class talent with PCB's support," Tareen added.

 

Ihsanullah will train at the Multan Sultans Academy in Lodhran under the guidance of fast bowling coach Katherine Dalton.

 

"The Multan Sultans have always supported me, and I am grateful for their continuous support," said Ihsanullah.

 

Earlier, on January 14, Ihsanullah announced his retirement from cricket and also decided to boycott PSL. 

 

The next day, however, he retracted his decision to boycott the league, saying, "I took this decision in the heat of the moment." 

 

After being overlooked by franchises for the upcoming season, he expressed frustration but now aims to work hard and secure his place in the tournament.

 

He also retracted his decision to retire from cricket.
