Team overview
Peshawar at a glance
Peshawar Region represent Peshawar and the surrounding regional cricket structure in PCB domestic competitions. The regional side is not Peshawar Zalmi: the latter is a privately operated Pakistan Super League franchise with its own squad, results and honours.
PCB placed Peshawar in 2025/26 National T20 Group A with Karachi Whites, Lahore Whites, Faisalabad and Bahawalpur. Peshawar lost the two matches in which play was possible and had two fixtures abandoned, finishing fifth with two points and a net run rate of -1.085.
Yasir Khan's 65 against Lahore Whites made him the team run leader with 72. Nabi Gul scored 59, while Israrullah made 47 in his only innings. Mohammad Nawaz led the bowling with four wickets and Usman Tariq took three.
The current result followed a strong 2024/25 run in which Peshawar reached the National T20 final and Sahibzada Farhan amassed 605 runs. The region also won the 2015/16 national T20 title; the earlier Peshawar Panthers city side won in 2014/15 and is labeled as predecessor-era history rather than silently merged.
