PSL 2026: Ashton Turner had a cheeky response to the packed schedule in the Pakistan Super League 2026 after Multan Sultans were made to play back-to-back matches at the same venue.
The table-toppers, with four wins in five games, beat Quetta Gladiators at the Gaddafi Stadium and had to return the very next day to face Rawalpindiz.
Ashton Turner jokes about sleeping at the stadium after quick turnaround
After the Quetta win, Turner summed up the situation with a humorous remark.
“Might go and find somewhere to get a blanket and a pillow and sleep here – very short turnaround,” Turner said during the post-match presentation.
While the comment drew laughs, it also highlighted how demanding franchise cricket can be, with very little recovery time between matches.
Despite that, Multan Sultans have looked sharp. Turner praised his team for adapting well and delivering in all areas.
“Slightly different conditions than the last two games. We did well in all three facets, which is satisfying. I was probably going to bowl the first over, but we expected two left-handers at the top. Fair play to them – they changed that,” he added.
Ashton Turner says Multan Sultans still chasing a perfect game
Turner also shared that the team is in a good space but still chasing a complete performance.
“We are having fun, a lot of smiles in our dressing room. Whilst we strive for a perfect game, we know there is a little bit we can improve. They were really tough wickets to bowl; first half done, important to take learnings forward. We have the luxury of bowling options and we want to have a wrist spinner in our ranks; conditions will dictate, might not bowl them as much… we know they are match-winners and they are going to be an important part going forward,” said Turner.
Multan Sultans carried their winning momentum into the next game as well and continue to lead the standings. They now get a short break before facing Peshawar Zalmi on April 13.
