The 2016 Pakistan Cup was a five-team one-day cricket tournament based on a draft system. It took place in Faisalabad, Punjab, from 19 April - 1 May and included teams from the country's four provinces and a Federal Capital side.[1] Sarfraz Ahmed, Shoaib Malik, Younis Khan, Azhar Ali and Misbah-Ul-Haq led the sides from Sindh, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan and Islamabad.
