Lahore Whites Team: Squad, Results, Stats & Schedule

Lahore Region Whites represent Lahore in Pakistan's regional domestic system. They are distinct from Lahore Blues and from the Lahore Qalandars PSL franchise.

The side won its first National T20 Cup title in 2018/19, beating Rawalpindi in the final. One season earlier, Lahore Whites reached the all-Lahore 2017/18 final but lost to Lahore Blues by seven wickets.

In 2025/26 Lahore won its first two Group A games, lost a 394-run thriller to Bahawalpur, then qualified in second place after the Karachi Whites match was washed out. The official final group report credited Lahore with five points and NRR +0.674.

Their semi-final innings reached 194/6, but Abbottabad's chase never began because of rain. Competition rules advanced Abbottabad on the higher group-stage position, leaving Lahore Whites as semi-finalists with two wins, one loss and two no-results across five scheduled matches.

No. PCB announced 19 main-squad players and five reserves, but a squad place does not prove a match appearance. The four played scorecards contain the actual XIs; the Karachi Whites group fixture had no play and therefore no playing XI.

Babar Azam, for example, belongs in the announced squad record but does not appear in Lahore Whites' played XIs. Reserves also remain labelled as reserves unless a scorecard supplies stronger participation evidence.

The directory keeps all 24 names because readers need the official selection picture. It does not convert the list into 24 appearances or imply that everyone was available together.

Rain repeatedly shortened the match from 20 overs to 16, then 13 and finally 10 overs per side. Faisalabad finished on 106/7, leaving Lahore a 107-run target rather than a normal full-innings chase.

Muhammad Akhlaq made 48 and Mohammad Faiq 32 before Aamir Jamal hit the winning runs at 110/4 with two balls remaining. PCB records the six-wicket result under the DLS-adjusted match conditions.

The score should therefore be compared with other ten-over games, not with Lahore's 20-over totals of 196/5 or 194/6. The win still counted for two group points.

The group match against Karachi Whites was abandoned without a ball bowled. Lahore received the no-result point that took its group total to five and secured second place in Group A.

In the semi-final, Lahore completed 194/6 but Abbottabad never began the chase. The match was still a no-result because no result could be completed; Lahore's first-innings total was not an automatic winning score.

PCB advanced Abbottabad because it had finished higher in the group stage. The same weather label therefore produced opposite practical effects: one point helped Lahore reach the knockout, while the seeding rule then sent the higher-ranked opponent to the final.

Batting average divides runs by dismissals, not innings. Farhan scored 143 runs in four innings but finished not out three times, so he was dismissed only once and averaged 143.00.

His innings included 61 not out against Peshawar and 33 not out in the semi-final. The official table also records a 188.16 strike rate from 76 balls, showing both survival and scoring pace within this small four-innings sample.

The figure should not be read as a long-term career level. One additional dismissal would change a short-tournament average sharply, which is why runs, dismissals, balls and strike rate belong together.

No current event source reviewed confirms that. PCB published Ijaz Ahmed Jnr as Lahore Whites' regional head coach for 2023/24, with Aizaz Cheema as bowling coach, but the 2026 National T20 squad release did not name event staff.

A historical regional appointment is useful context, not permission to mark the same person as current across seasons and formats. The page therefore keeps the 2023/24 date visible and omits a current coach from SportsTeam structured data.

This prevents a quiet contradiction between the page and its machine-readable claim. A 2026 coach can be added only when a current competition or regional source identifies one.
