THE MILLIONAIRE owner of Pakistan cricket side Multan Sultans has died Alamgir Khan Tareen aged 63 from a reported gun shot wound.

The Pakistan Super League have confirmed that he was found dead at his home on Thursday.

Station House Officer (SHO) Ghalib Market Muhammad Irfan announced that Tareen had died of a gun shot wound, says The National News.

Cops have cordoned off Alamgir’s residence and a statement from them said: “The police will be able to present a final report with the facts and reasons of the case after the initial investigation is completed.”

He was also allegedly engaged and set to get married in December.

A statement read: “PCB expresses its shock and grief on the untimely passing of Multan Sultans owner Mr Alamgir Tareen.

“He will always be remembered for his passion for cricket. PCB offers its deepest condolences to the Tareen and Multan Sultans families, as well as all his friends and loved ones.”

His cricket side, the Multan Sultans, said: “It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved team owner, Alamgir Khan Tareen.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr Tareen’s family. We request you all to kindly respect his family’s privacy.”

Lahore Qalandars, who won the PSL title this year against Tareen’s Sultans, also paid tribute to the late Tareen.

A statement from them read: “Lahore Qalandars management is shocked and saddened to hear about the death of Mr. Alamgir Tareen.

“This loss leaves a significant void within the cricket community. We offer our heartfelt support to his family and Multan Sultans to navigate this challenging time.

“May the departed soul rest in peace, and may their loved ones find strength and solace in the memories shared and the legacy left behind.”

Alamgir received a bachelors from the University of California in Berkeley, USA, and later completed his masters degree at the famed Yale.

He bought the Sultans franchise in 2018 along with his nephew Ali Khan Tareen

Alamgir’s brother is Pakistani businessman and politician Jahangir Tareen, leader of the Istehkam-i-Pakistan Party (IPP).

He was a businessman himself, operating a large water purification plant in Pakistan.

The Sultans website described him as a “sports enthusiast who wanted to work towards establishing a solid platform for aspiring sportsmen and women and to provide them with the best possible resources to further develop their skills.”

After he bought them, the Sultans went on to become the most consistent franchise in the PSL.

They have reached the last three finals and lifted the title in 2021, the year that Alamgir bought out Ali Tareen’s share to take sole ownership of the franchise.
