One built on transparency, cooperation and trust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo that end, I\u2019ve written to the PCB Chairman, proposing four key reforms to strengthen how the PSL is managed.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the letter, sent by Multan Sultans, featured four key reforms: franchise representation on PSL committees and working groups, structured hiring for key PSL roles, a professional management structure and regular reporting to franchises.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n            setTimeout(function(){\n                var
