History
Water and Power Development Authority first competed at first-class level in the 1975–76 season, but they did not become a permanent part of top-level domestic competitions until the 1997–98 Patron's Trophy, when they finished last out of eight, without a win.[3] They became more successful in the twenty-first century, and won several trophies, including the 2016–17 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.[4]
In May 2019, Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan revamped the domestic cricket structure in Pakistan, excluding departmental teams in favour of regional sides, therefore ending the participation of the team.[5] In August 2023, the PCB announced the return of departmental cricket with the start of 2023–24 President's Trophy, in which Water and Power Development Authority took part.[6] At the end of the 2024–25 President's Trophy, in which WAPDA finished fifth out of nine teams, they had played 234 first-class matches, for 96 wins, 56 losses, 81 draws and one tie.[7]
