Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cricket team was a domestic cricket team in Pakistan representing the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. It competed in domestic first-class, List A and T20 cricket tournaments, namely the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, Pakistan Cup and National T20 Cup. The team was operated by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Cricket Association.
History
Before 2019
As the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP), the team played its inaugural season in the Ranji Trophy in 1937. After the independence of Pakistan, NWFP competed in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy sporadically from 1953–54 to 1978–79, and in the Pentangular Cup and Pakistan Cup. In 2010, the province was renamed "Khyber Pakhtunkhwa" and the team name changed accordingly. The team used Peshawar Club Ground as a home ground since 1938 until it was replaced by Arbab Niaz Stadium in 1985.
Since 2019
A new Khyber Pakhtunkhwa team was introduced as a part of the new domestic structure announced by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on 31 August 2019.
