The 2023–24 President's Trophy is the ongoing season of the President's Trophy, a first-class cricket competition played in Pakistan.[1] The tournament is being played from 16 December 2023 to 31 January 2024.[2] It is being played by seven departmental teams, across three venues in Karachi.[3] In December 2023, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed the fixtures for the tournament.[4] It marks the return of departmental cricket in Pakistan since the 2018–19 season.[5] Originally, although eight teams were scheduled to participate, Sui Southern Gas Company pulled out of the tournament.[6]

Teams

The following teams are taking part in the tournament:[7]

Competition format

The seven departmental are playing each other in a round-robin format, therefore playing six matches.[8] The tournament consists of 22 matches, which are divided as seven rounds of league stage matches. Top two teams will play each other in the final match.[9] The league worked on a points system with positions being based on the total points.

Before the start of the tournament, the PCB brought some changes to the playing conditions. According to it, all matches of the tournament will be restricted to 80 overs in the first innings.[10] Teams scoring 350 or more runs will earn a batting bonus point, while a bonus point will be awarded to the bowling side if they manage to dismiss the opponent within the stipulated 80 overs. If a captain decides to either declare or forfeit his team’s first innings before the completion of 80 overs, the bowling side will get bowling bonus points.[11]
