Salman Butt, one of the commentators for the Champions Cup 2024

The Champions Cups, the newest set of domestic competitions in Pakistan, will get underway on September 12. Here is the full list of commentators who will be working on the broadcast of the matches.

The PCB introduced the Champions Events into the domestic calendar as a set of competitions meant to bridge the gap between domestic and international cricket, thereby ensuring players could be more ready for the big stage once they put in the hard yards in the domestic game.

There has been significant investment in this initiative by the PCB. It involves the setting up of three separate competitions (one for each format), to be fit into the existing domestic calendar, as well as providing a high-performance centre and a high-profile mentor to each of the teams.
