Lahore Qalandars, three-time champions of the Pakistan Super League, will participate in the upcoming Global Super League (GSL).
The tournament is set for July 23 to August 1, 2026, at the Guyana National Stadium, featuring top franchise teams from around the world in a showcase of elite T20 Cricket.
This return to the GSL is highly anticipated, as Lahore Qalandars were part of the first edition of the tournament. Their re-entry highlights the franchise’s growing status globally and the rising significance of cross-league competitions.
Lahore Qalandars is one of the most popular and financially successful teams in franchise cricket. The franchise has built a strong brand known for excellence and a deep connection with its supporters.
This commercial success has led to a significant franchise value, recognized by EY MENA (Ernst & Young), which noted Lahore Qalandars as the most valuable team in the Pakistan Super League. Their involvement in the GSL will enhance the tournament’s prestige.
Sameen Rana, Team Owner of Lahore Qalandars, stated:
“We are delighted to return to the Global Super League. The first edition provided a fantastic platform for high-quality cricket and global engagement. We are proud to represent Pakistan once again. Lahore Qalandars has always aimed to push boundaries, and this tournament lets us showcase our talent and culture to a global audience. I am especially excited to bring our Player Development Program talent to the GSL this year.”
Clive Lloyd, Chairman of the Global Super League, commented:
“We are thrilled to welcome Lahore Qalandars back to the Global Super League. They are a dynamic and successful T20 franchise with a passionate fan base and a history of excellence. Their participation will enhance the tournament’s quality and profile, and we look forward to their competitive spirit once again.”
With top talent expected from various cricketing nations, the GSL is establishing itself as a premier global franchise competition.
