Players Development Program (PDP) was invented to engage the youth of Pakistan and give a platform to youngsters who weren’t given a chance in the domestic circuit so they could showcase their talent through this platform.

To find undiscovered talent wherever it is possible to reach them and provide them a chance to exhibit and if found worthy, develop and showcase it on a global scale.

Creating hope for talented individuals who do not have resources to nurture their talent and ability to drive a career through cricket.

Youth from all over Punjab was given a chance to register and give trials and the best of the best talent moved forward to achieve their goals.<br />
In the first year 113,000 people registered and gave trials in 8 cities of Punjab: Bahawalpur, Multan, DG Khan, Faisalabad, Sargodha, Gujranwala, Rawalpindi & Lahore. 8 teams (each team had 15 players) were formed which led to a tournament in Gaddafi Stadium Lahore and Faisalabad emerged victorious.<br />
The best 16 players were then given a chance to play with the best Australian Leagues like Sydney Thunder and Sydney Sixers in Australia. Moreover, Yasir Jan, an ambidextrous bowler was found from Rawalpindi in the first season who went on to train in Lord’s and signed a contract with MCC. Along with that, 4 players from PDP went on to join the Lahore Qalandars squad for PSL.

In the second year of PDP there were above 350,000 registrations and above 160,000 people came for trials.
