The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has outlined a comprehensive domestic cricket calendar for 2025, which promises to deliver an exciting year of cricket. The new calendar emphasizes the development of local talent while maintaining a strong focus on competitive red-ball and white-ball tournaments.
The domestic cricket calendar unveiled by the PCB for 2025 is headlined by more than 100 first-class red-ball games. As the nation’s top-tier competitions, the President’s Trophy and Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, continue to serve as major platforms for aspiring Test players, the calendar is poised to deliver intense cricketing action throughout the year.
Alongside the traditional red-ball format, white-ball cricket will also be in the spotlight, with various 50-over and T20 tournaments scheduled to engage fans and provide competitive opportunities for players. The introduction of revamped age-group competitions, including U15 and U17 categories, signals a renewed commitment to developing young cricketers across Pakistan.
The 2025 domestic season will feature 21 key tournaments, including a minimum of 131 first-class matches, 37 50-over List-A games, and 119 T20 encounters. This expansive schedule reflects the PCB’s commitment to providing opportunities for players at all levels of the sport.
