The Habib Bank Limited cricket team was a first-class cricket side, sponsored by the Habib Bank Limited, who competed as a departmental team in Pakistan domestic cricket from 1975 to 1976 season.
Before disbandment, the bank was providing an annual budget of Rs. 100 million.[1]
Habib Bank made its debut on the Pakistan domestic circuit in 1975-76 and attained ‘Grand Slam’ in 1977–78.[2]
Since their debut, they have won the United Bank Limited (UBL) Trophy and Servis Cup limited-overs competitions in their inaugural season.[2]
As of mid-January 2014 they had played 378 first-class matches, with 166 wins, 70 losses, 141 draws and 1 tie.[3] They had also played 257 List A matches, with 181 wins, 73 losses and 3 no-results,[4] and 10 Twenty20 matches with 8 wins, 2 losses.[5]
In April 2019, Habib Bank Limited did not renew their players' contracts and ended the team.[6]
In May 2019, Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan revamped the domestic cricket structure in Pakistan, excluding departmental teams in favour of regional sides, therefore ending the participation of the team.[7] The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was criticised in removing departmental sides, with players voicing their concern to revive the teams.[8]
