About Lahore Qalandars

Lahore Qalandars (Urdu: لاہور قلندرز‎; Punjabi: لہور قلندرز; abbreviated as LQ) is a Pakistani professional cricket franchise which plays in the Pakistan Super League. The home ground of the team is Gaddafi Stadium. It nominally represents the city of Lahore in the league. The team is owned by Qatar Lubricants Company Limited (QALCO). The team is currently captained by Sohail Akhtar. The team is coached by Aaqib Javed, a former Pakistani cricketer. Lahore Qalandars is owned by Rana brothers. Lahore Qalandars was the second-most expensive franchise, and one of the few teams sold to an international company. The team finished at the bottom spot in the points table in each of the first four seasons of the PSL, before making their first appearance in the final in the 2020 edition.

Fakhar Zaman is the leading run-scorer and Shaheen Shah Afridi is the leading wicket-taker for the side. Afridi is also the Qalandars' brand ambassador.
