Shoaib Malik to captain Multan Sultans in PSL 3
The Multan Sultans on Sunday decided to hand the skipper's cap to Shoaib Malik for the third edition of the Pakistan Super League.
In a press release announcing Malik's captaincy, the Sultans also announced that former right-hand batsman Muhammad Junaid will be the team's batting mentor while former South African captain Johan Botha will act as their strength coach.
The Indian cricket team's former physiotherapist, Andrew Leipus, will be helping the squad keep in shape throughout the tournament.
Speaking about Malik's skills on the field, Multan Sultan's Director of Cricket Operations, Wasim Akram, said: "Malik is currently at his finest fitness level, and after playing a number of international T20 leagues, he also has a lot of experience to offer the team, which is why he has been chosen as captain."
The PSL 3 players' draft will take place today and feature 501 local and international cricket players.

Welcome to the club of skippers. Once a captain, always a captain. Keep it up and hang on tough.
Not a bad choice. I hope Multan Sultan takes Eion Morgan on his side. Young batters like Saud Shakeel and Wicket keeper batsman Umar Saddique is good too.
Wrong decision.He quit captaincy of KK in PSL 1 during the tournament.The reason he gave was too much pressure.If that was the case then why he is being made skipper again?They should have picked a young captain.
Wonderful couple. Sania loves and supports her husband so much. The magic working for both love birds.
Perfect choice. Malik has improved his game a lot after 2015WC comeback and looks in prime touch as cricketer and he was always a brilliant skipper.
Welcome to the elite club, keep it up Mulran sultans.
