National T20 Cup 2026 Trophy Officially Unveiled by the PCB

The shining trophy for the upcoming National T20 Cup 2026 was recently unveiled by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) at the Imran Khan Cricket Stadium. The captains of all ten participating teams were present at the event, showcasing their excitement for the start of the tournament. 

An official video of the trophy unveiling has now been posted by the PCB on social media, in which all captains can be seen posing with the silverware.

The National T20 Cup 2026 will be played in Peshawar from March 7, including ten different teams from across Pakistan. It would be the first time Peshawar would be hosting such a big domestic event, as PCB is ramping up its efforts to bring national and international cricket back to the city.

The participating teams have been divided into two groups, consisting of five in each. Group A includes Lahore Whites, Peshawar, Faisalabad, Karachi Whites and Bahawalpur, while Group B consists of defending champions Lahore Blues, Sialkot, Multan, Abbottabad and Karachi Blues.

The tournament will start with a double header on Saturday, in which Lahore Whites and Peshawar will clash in the first match, followed by Faisalabad vs Karachi Whites in the second fixture. Fans are therefore excited for the start of the tournament, as it will shed light on some new emerging stars in Pakistan cricket.
