Central Punjab was a domestic cricket team in Pakistan representing the northern and central parts of the Punjab province. It competed in domestic first-class, List A and T20 cricket competitions, namely the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, Pakistan Cup and National T20 Cup. The team was operated by the Central Punjab Cricket Association.

History

The team was introduced as a part of a new domestic structure introduced by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on 31 August 2019.[1] On 3 September 2019, PCB confirmed the inaugural squad for the team.[2] Babar Azam was announced as the captain of the team.[3]

2019/20 season

Central Punjab won the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, defeating Northern by an innings and 16 runs in the final.[4] The team was eliminated in the group stage of the National T20 Cup. The Pakistan Cup was cancelled this season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

2020/21 season

The team came back from a bad start in defence of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy to win five successive matches and reach the final. The final against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa resulted in a tie, and they were declared joint winners. The team again struggled in the limited overs formats, finishing in fourth and fifth place respectively in the Pakistan Cup and National T20 Cup.
