Pakistan Cup is domestic one-day cricket tournament in which five provincial teams of Pakistan participate. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) introduced this competition by revamping the previous tournament - Pentangular Cup.

The long-established selection method has been changed with a draft system – like PSL. In this method, already-appointed captain and coaches are able to select the players for making their 15-man squads from a list of available players in 15 rounds. The five teams from the five provinces of Pakistan - Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and a team from Federal Capital of country - was remain the same as like Pentangular Cup.

Pakistan Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq, ODI captain Azhar Ali, T20 captain Sarfraz Ahmed and two ex-skippers Younis Khan and Shoaib Malik were selected by PCB to lead the teams of Federal Capital, Balochistan, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab respectively in the first edition.
