It’s worth noting that the ongoing domestic season features Champions tournaments across three formats to bridge the gap between domestic and international cricket as well as provide a more competitive and high-pressure cricket playing environment to the players.
The Champions One-Day Cup, which was played last month, as well as the Champions T20 Cup and Champions First-Class Cup, joined the existing National T20 Cup, Quaid-e-Azam Trophy (regional first-class tournament), President’s Trophy (departmental first-class tournament), President’s Cup (departmental 50-over event), and Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 in the 2024-25 domestic cricket season.
In addition to the eight men’s senior tournaments in the period from August 2024 to September 2025, the PCB will also organise 11 development/pathway tournaments which will be separate from the three Pakistan Shaheens and one Pakistan U19 away series.
