LAHORE: Only two bidders have qualified for the final race to earn the rights of the sixth team of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and the name of the chosen bidder is likely to be announced on Thursday.

Though a good response was received from different bidders for the sixth team, only two could qualify for the decisive stage, a Pak­istan Cricket Board official said.

The spot for the sixth team was up for grabs after Multan Sultans were disqualified after appearing in just one edition of the league held early this year.

PCB chairman Ehsan Mani has also written a letter to all the BoG members informing them that the franchise of Multan Sultans had made several violations of the terms and conditions of the PSL agreement and thus it has been disassociated from the league.
