The league was dissolved in December 2022.

## History

[edit]

### Conception

[edit]

> We talked about [improving the] pathways to professional cricket. In October next year, we'll launch an U19 PSL. This is very exciting because it's never happened anywhere else.

— Ramiz Raja, November 2021[8]

Shortly after his promotion to the position of PCB Chairman in September 2021, Ramiz Raja outlined his plans to improve cricket in Pakistan.[9] Highlighting that the board needed to facilitate the transformation of young cricketers into world-class players, he expressed the desire to introduce an 'Under-19 T20 World League'.[10] Over the following months, further details of this vision were outlined and Raja described his aspiration to expand the already successful Pakistan Super League (PSL) into two additional versions tailored to youth cricket and women's cricket.[8] At the 67th Board of Governors meeting in December 2021, Pakistan's Pathway Cricket Foundation was identified as an initiative that would look to nurture 100 young cricketers in preparation for the upcoming launch of an 'U-19 PSL'.[11]

### Launch

[edit]

On 14 April 2022, the PCB, through their official website, announced the launch of the PJL.[12] The announcement was accompanied by a statement from Raja who confirmed the inaugural season would take place in October 2022.[13] In addition, the PCB had initiated the process to secure title, category sponsorships, live streaming providers and franchise owners.[14] The competition was to be a city-based league with players selected through a draft system.[15] The PCB planned to involve international age-group cricketers from various nations as well.[16]

### Marketing

[edit]

The season's logo variant was unveiled with the hashtag #Next11 and #PJL also being used on social media.[citation needed]

The tournament was broadcast live on PTV Sports and live streamed on Geo Super’s App and Geo Super’s YouTube and Facebook pages in Pakistan. Live streaming was made available on the PCB YouTube/Facebook and PJL YouTube/Facebook channels for the rest of the world.[citation needed]

The tournament broadcast was done through a 22 camera full HD production including enhancements such as Buggy cam and drone camera.[citation needed]

The commentary panel for the inaugural edition included prominent commentators Daren Ganga, Dominic Cork and Mike Haysman. Former Pakistan captain Sana Mir, former Zimbabwe player Tino Mawoyo and seasoned broadcaster Sikander Bakht was also a part of the panel. Roha Nadeem was the presenter.[citation needed]

### Dissolution

[edit]

The Pakistan Junior League was dissolved by the newly appointed PCB Management Committee on 31 December 2022.[17][18] It was dissolved after the first edition had cost approximately Rs. 997 million and had earned returns of Rs. 190 million, causing losses of US$4 million.[19][20][21]

## Teams

[edit]

On 30 August 2022, PCB announced the names of the six teams for the inaugural edition of the Pakistan Junior League, each representing one city of Pakistan. These names were different from those used by the teams of the Pakistan Super League. Although the PCB had initially had planned a franchise model similar to that of PSL, it decided to take up the ownership of the teams itself after the base price set up for the ownership of teams was not met by the bidders.[22]

## Venues
