Higher Education Commission cricket team

Higher Education Commission cricket team is a departmental cricket team in Pakistan, that plays first-class cricket in the President's Trophy. The team is sponsored and owned by Higher Education Commission. The team does not have any geographical base. It is currently being captained by Mohammad Huraira.

History
The team was founded in 2003 to take part in the 2003 Inter Departmental Qualifying Tournament. In May 2019, Pakistan's prime minister Imran Khan revamped the domestic cricket structure in Pakistan, excluding departmental teams in favour of regional sides, therefore ending the participation of the team. The team was refounded in March 2023 after a revamp of the domestic structure. In December 2023, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed that Higher Education Commission would be one of the teams to participate in the 2023–24 President's Trophy. The team made their first-class debut on 22 December 2023, losing the match against Water and Power Development Authority. This was the first time for Higher Education Commission to compete in a major domestic tournament in Pakistan.
