The National T20 Cup 2021, scheduled to be held from 23 September-13 October, will give Pakistan players the opportunity to prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Now that Pakistan's series against New Zealand has been postponed, the tournament will be fiercely contested, with all of Pakistan's finest cricketers eligible to compete in it.
The National T20 Cup 2021 will not only give players the chance to make a name for themselves in the national team, but it will also present top achievers with the possibility of being selected in the PSL Player Draft.
The tournament will feature six teams — Balochistan, Central Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Northern, Sindh, and Southern Punjab. The Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi and Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will host 33 matches of the tournament.
