Walee Technologies acquired the rights to the franchise previously called the Multan Sultans following a bidding war of high stakes. The tech company placed a staggering bid of Rs. 245 Crore (Rs. 2.45 Billion), pushing the team’s valuation to unprecedented heights.

This aggressive valuation rise is a significant financial achievement of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Under this most recent auction, the amount of annual franchise money raised by the board has gone to about Rs. 8.67 billion (near the USD 31 million).
The auction process was conducted under strict protocols to ensure transparency and fair competition:
- Bidding Increments: Offers started from a base price and rose by a minimum of Rs. 1 Crore per bid.
- Strategy Breaks: Participants were allowed a single five-minute huddle to recalibrate their financial strategy.
- No Price Cap: There was no upper limit on the potential price, allowing the market to determine the true value of the franchise.
The session reached its climax when Walee Technologies’ offer of Rs. 245 Crore went unmatched, cementing Rawalpindi’s status as the league’s financial heavyweight.
