Sialkot Stallionz Officially Unveiled Ahead of PSL 11

The owner of the newly formed Sialkot franchise, Kamil Khan, has officially revealed the team’s name ahead of the 11th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 11), scheduled to run from March 26 to May 3.

The announcement marks a significant milestone in the league’s expansion and has sparked widespread excitement among cricket fans across Pakistan.

Khan unveiled the franchise identity on Wednesday through a slick 3D animated video shared on social media platform X, confirming that the team will compete under the name Sialkot Stallionz.

“You guessed it. You waited. Now, I am proud to officially introduce SIALKOT STALLIONZ. Excited to be part of the Pakistan Super League journey,” Khan wrote alongside the reveal.

The revival of the Stallions name carries deep historical importance in Pakistan’s domestic cricket landscape. Between 2005 and 2012, the Sialkot Stallions dominated the National T20 Cup, winning a record six titles and setting a world record with a 25-match unbeaten streak. That era cemented the Stallions as the most successful team in Pakistan’s domestic T20 history.

During their golden period, the Stallions produced and nurtured several prominent Pakistan cricketers. Under the composed leadership of Shoaib Malik, the side featured explosive opener Imran Nazir, dependable all-rounder Haris Sohail, and several other notable performers. Their sustained success transformed Sialkot into a major cricketing hub and created a fiercely loyal fan base—one the Sialkot Stallionz PSL franchise now aims to reconnect with in PSL 2026 and beyond.

The Sialkot franchise was awarded earlier this month following a high-profile PSL expansion auction held at the Jinnah Convention Centre. OZ Developers, owned by Hamza Majeed, secured ownership of the eighth PSL team with a winning bid of Rs1.85 billion, surpassing the base price of Rs1.70 billion after intense competition among eight qualified bidders. Earlier, the FKS Group had acquired the first expansion franchise with a bid of Rs1.75 billion.

With the addition of Sialkot Stallionz and another new team, PSL 11 will feature eight franchises for the first time, ushering in a new phase of growth and commercial strength for Pakistan’s premier T20 league.
