The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cricket team is a Pakistani regional cricket team that represents Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the championships. She competes in regional first-class cricket tournaments, List A and T20. Let’s talk about this team and its achievements in more detail.
Brief information about the team
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa represents the province of the same name in cricket competitions and was founded in its current format in 2019. Despite this, the team’s history is quite rich: it was founded on the basis of the North-West Frontier Province team, which has been playing cricket since 1937 and was part of the structure of cricket teams existing within India.
After Pakistan was declared an independent state in 1947, North-West Frontier Province continued to enter the field, taking part in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, Pentangular Trophy and Pakistan Cup tournaments.
The name of the province has changed to the current one since 2010, and the name of the team has changed at the same time. 2019 saw a new round in the development of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: the entire Pakistani cricket system was reformed and streamlined. Since then, instead of many teams, only six have participated in the national championships, representing various regions of Pakistan, including the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Its rivals are Northern, Southern Punjab, Central Punjab, Balochistan, Sindh.
The team captain is currently Mohammad Rizwan, who is best at wicket-keeper batsman.
He coached the Abdul Razzaq team.
