History

The team was introduced as a part of the new domestic structure announced by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on 31 August 2019.[1]

Former Sindh Teams (Defunct): Historically, the Sindh province was known as the Sind where a team played in the Ranji Trophy from 1934–35 until 1947–48 in British India. After the formation of Pakistan in 1947, Sind occasionally played in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy from 1953–54 to 1956–57, but then made only sporadic appearances at first-class level until the 1970s, when two Sindh teams (Sind A and Sind B) competed in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy for several years. These former teams are all defunct and are not related to the current Sindh cricket team.

2019/20 Season

Sindh finished in fifth place in both the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy and National T20 Cup. The Pakistan Cup was cancelled this season due to the covid-19 pandemic.

2020/21 Season

The team finished in sixth and third place respectively in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy and the National T20 Cup. Although finishing first in the league phase of the Pakistan Cup, Sindh did was could not progress to the final in the knock-out phase of the tournament.
