Taking to Twitter, Ali Khan Tareen it would be ridiculous for the Pakistan cricket board (PCB) to just give Sultans the trophy.

“Finishing at No.1 means we were the most dominant/ consistent team, but it doesn’t mean we won. It would be ridiculous for the PCB to just give us the trophy. All four teams have the same chance of winning. Trophies should be won, not given,” he said.

He also said: “And as I’ve always said, trophies are not important. Helping players develop, giving them a platform and watching them excel is so much more rewarding. So that’s why I want the remaining games to be played later in the year so our local players get more opportunities to shine,”.

The governing body had announced to reschedule all the remaining matches following the normalization of situation.
