Quaid-i-Azam Trophy

Quaid-i-Azam Trophy

The Qaid-i-Azam Trophy ("aka" Quaid-e-Azam Trophy) is the premier first-class domestic cricket competition in Pakistan.

History

Named after Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, the Trophy was introduced in 1953 to help pick the squad for Pakistan's Test tour of England in the forthcoming year. The competition has been contested sometimes by regional teams, sometimes by departments, and sometimes by a mixture of the two. Seven regional teams competed in the first competition. However, in 1956-57, it was decided that Karachi and Punjab would have to enter three teams each, in order to make the teams more evenly matched. Karachi teams have dominated the trophy, winning 17 times.

Winners

Karachi teams have won the Qaid-i-Azam Trophy 17 times, PIA 6, National Bank 5, Lahore teams and United Bank 4, Bahawalpur, Punjab and Railways 2, ADBP, Faisalabad, Habib Bank and Peshawar 1.
