The Pakistan Junior League (PJL) has been scrapped by the PCB's new administration. Instead, the PCB plans to "revive junior series on a home and away basis" going forward. These decisions were taken at Saturday's meeting of the PCB's managing committee, led by Najam Sethi.

A PCB statement said: "The PCB Management Committee agreed to discontinue the Pakistan Junior League. However, to ensure there is a pathway for the high-performing teenagers and the country continues to produce talented cricketers across all age gaps, it was agreed to revive junior series on a home and away basis.

"It was also agreed to hold discussions with the HBL Pakistan Super League franchises to include an Under-19 player under their Emerging Categories in the playing line-ups."
