Lahore Qalandars (Urdu: لاہور قلندرز; Punjabi: لہور قلندرز) is a Pakistani professional cricket franchise which plays in the Pakistan Super League. It nominally represents Lahore in the league. The team is owned by Qatar Lubricants Ltd. The team is currently captained by Brendon McCullum and coached by Paddy Upton, a former South African cricketer. Lahore Qalandars was the 2nd most expensive franchise and was one of the few teams sold to an international company.
In 2015, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced that the inaugural season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) would take place in February 2016 in the United Arab Emirates. On 3 December 2015, the PCB unveiled the owners of five city-based franchises. The Lahore franchise was sold to the Qatar Lubricants Company for US$24 Million for a span of ten years, making it the second most expensive team of PSL (after The Karachi Kings, which sold for US$26 million).
