Team overview
Lahore Blues at a glance
Lahore Region Blues represent Lahore in Pakistan's regional domestic system. They are distinct from the Lahore Qalandars PSL franchise and from Lahore Region Whites; their current men's T20 competition is the PCB National T20 Cup.
The Blues have won two National T20 Cup titles. Their first came in 2017/18, when they beat Lahore Whites by seven wickets in the final, and their second came in 2024/25 with a nine-wicket final win over Peshawar at Iqbal Stadium.
The 2025/26 title defence was unsuccessful. Lahore lost all four Group B matches, finished fifth with no points and NRR -3.638, and did not advance to the semi-finals.
The page keeps current T20 evidence separate from the wider Lahore regional programme. Afaq Raheem is the PCB-published 2025/26 Lahore Blues head coach for the Hanif Mohammad Trophy; PCB's T20 squad release did not publish a separate event staff list.
Fifth in Group B after four defeats
Lahore finished fifth in Group B with four losses, no points and NRR -3.638. The narrow three-run loss to Multan was followed by defeats of 110 runs, 57 runs and eight wickets.

Updated 2026-08-10. PCB records supply the roster, results, tables, statistics, title history and published regional head coach. Direct access to some PCB pages was limited by Cloudflare, so the page uses the corresponding indexed PCB records and official match reports. No separate Lahore Blues T20 support-staff list or standalone team social accounts were published; the page therefore labels PCB governing channels and leaves unpublished staff unnamed.
