Some names in the scorecards are not in the original PCB squads. Hammad Aziz is not listed in the Lahore Whites roster, and Mudasir Zunair and Sudais Ulfat came in from the reserves. That fits the PCB's revolving roster rule, which lets teams pick reserves at any time. Every squad is in our list of Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2026-27 squads.
What to watch on days two to four
