It is not known when the 2024-25 Quaid-e-Azam (QeA) Trophy season will begin, even though Pakistan’s excellent World Test season is underway. A schedule provisionally released through the PCB in August stated that Pakistan’s premier first-class event would begin on October 20, but as of now, the fate of the event remains uncertain.
Month, the dates for all local competitions announced by the PCB in August have been tentative and subject to change, a PCB official informed ESPNcricinfo not long ago, last week that the QeA was ready to accumulate in its plan of the October 20. . ESPNcricinfo understands that no one, not even those responsible for internal affairs at the PCB, knows when the event schedule will finally be announced.
ESPNcricinfo has learned that the event is all set to get the green light from PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.
The PCB declined to comment on what is holding the favor at this time, even though the budgetary favor operationally comes from the president, and is known to be one of the most important factors in the extension. Still, the lack of information about the QeA contrasts sharply with the fanfare with which the One-Occasion Champions Cup, which was held in September, used to be marked on the board.
The QeA has never managed to accumulate into a schedule or structure, but denying details about its start so late in a season is something unheard of. In each of the last 15 years, at least two, the event began before October 26, and the schedule is usually published clearly before October. Each and every one of the last two seasons began in September; The latest generation of the event began on September 10 and ended on October 26.
The situation is even more jarring in a season where Pakistan are scheduled to play games with more Test suits than any other option this century. They are already more than halfway through the seven home Check teams that will play between August 2024 and January 2025, with two Check teams in South Africa at the generation change.
