Originally planned to begin in September, the premier first-class tournament was delayed due to the Hanif Mohammad Trophy but will now commence on 6 October. Matches will be played across four venues: Abbottabad, Islamabad, Peshawar and Rawalpindi.
This year’s edition will feature a single-league round-robin format, with nine rounds comprising 46 matches. The competition will conclude with the five-day final, scheduled from 29 November to 3 December.
A total of 10 regional teams will contest the title: Abbottabad, Bahawalpur, FATA, Faisalabad, Islamabad, Karachi Blues, Lahore Whites, Multan, Peshawar, and Sialkot. Notably, FATA, Faisalabad, Karachi Blues, and Multan earned their places in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy by topping the Hanif Mohammad Trophy points table earlier this year.
