Rawalpindi cricket team

Rawalpindi are a first-class cricket side who have competed in domestic competitions in Pakistan since 1958.

Their List A and Twenty20 sides are the Rawalpindi Rams.

Rawalpindi also reached the final of the Ayub Trophy in 1967-68 (losing to Karachi Blues), the Punjab Governor's Gold Cup Tournament in 1971-72 (losing to Punjab University), and the BCCP Patron's Trophy in 1984-85 (losing to Karachi Whites) and 1988-89 (losing to Karachi).

Rawalpindi played their first two matches in 1958-59 in the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy, drawing the first and winning the second against Peshawar. Munir Malik took 21 wickets in the two matches for 136 runs; on top of his 12 for 39 against Peshawar he scored 35 not out, which was the highest score in the match, a crucial element of the 28-run victory.

In 1961-62 Rawalpindi won three of their four matches in the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy, Munir Malik taking 31 wickets at 12.93 and Javed Akhtar 22 at 10.77. Malik took 12 for 84 in the match against Peshawar, while Akhtar took 12 for 117 against Combined Services.

In 1962-63 Rawalpindi reached the semi-finals of the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy, thanks largely to the bowling of the captain, Maqsood Ahmed, who took 34 wickets in the four matches at 9.29 (including 13 for 83 against Sargodha), and Mohammad Sabir, 28 at 11.42. Rawalpindi also reached the semi-finals in 1963-64.
