Quetta Gladiators Reportedly Up for Sale Ahead of PSL 12

Quetta Gladiators, owned by Nadeem Omar, may be seeking to sell the franchise before the Pakistan Super League 12, according to recent reports. Omar Associates reportedly approached the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) with a proposed selling price of Rs. 3 billion. However, neither Omar nor the PCB have officially confirmed any sale or transaction.

The franchise owner has reportedly decided to end his 11-year tenure and is discussing the sale with the board. This development occurs despite Omar renewing the franchise's agreement with the PCB in November 2025 for the 2026–2035 cycle. The agreement requires an annual payment of Rs. 340 million to Rs. 380 million. Financial constraints and rising operating costs, following the league’s revaluation, are cited as primary reasons for the proposed sale.

Additionally, there are broader payment issues within the PSL, with several franchises, including Quetta Gladiators and teams associated with the Wali Group, facing outstanding dues despite payment deadlines passing. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has addressed these concerns, stating that owners can sell their teams if they wish, but they should do so profitably.

The reported availability and asking price of Quetta Gladiators remain unconfirmed by the franchise owner and the PCB.
