Hanif Mohammad Trophy

The Hanif Mohammad Trophy is a cricket event arranged by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), honoring Hanif Mohammad, a key figure in Pakistan's early cricket history. It's a way to pay homage to his skill, passion, and lasting impact on the sport.

Format
The Hanif Mohammad Trophy is a four-day grade-II cricket tournament involving 10 regional teams during the domestic season.

The winning team of the Hanif Mohammad Trophy earns promotion to the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, while the last-placed team in the first-class tournament is demoted to the grade-II event.
