Masood led Multan to the top of the PSL 5 league table, before his side were eliminated in the knockout stages of last year's competition.

A statement from Sultans owner Alamgir Tareen read: "Mohammad Rizwan has shown exemplary leadership qualities with the Pakistan team as well as with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the domestic tournaments.
"He is presently one of the very best in the world in his position and we are excited to have him lead our team for the upcoming season of the Pakistan Super League.
"We are grateful to Shan Masood for leading the franchise exceptionally well last season and for instilling a winning mentality within the team."
