The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) earlier announced a PSL-like competition for U-19 cricket players, which is now a reality under the name Pakistan Junior League, the maiden edition of which will be contested in Lahore from October
PJL 2022 is creating hype before it’s happening, and the fans are excited to witness some quality cricketing action and young talent coming in. With the things being under the finalization process, the PCB still had been looking for the teams, and that maze is now solved either.

The board took it to Twitter and mentioned 12 probable cities, out of which only six will feature as franchises of Pakistan Junior League’s first edition. Since it was announced that PJL 2022 would be a six-team tournament, the PCB clarified it in the post as well.
The possible franchises might be Abbottabad, Bahawalpur, Gwadar, Gujranwala, Hyderabad, Mardan, Muzaffarabad, Rahim Yar Khan, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, Sukkur, and Ziarat.
