In Pakistan, cricket is not just a game, it is a cultural blood flow, a collective memory, and often, a dream of identity. In this land of enthusiastic fans and raw talent, the steps that lead to a meaningful spirit in meaningful virtues are more valuable than just clapping. They demand a duplicate. In collaboration with the Prime Minister’s Youth Program (PMYP), there is a recent attempt by the Lahore Qalandars to be celebrated as a national model.

For more than four days, in South Punjab, first in Bahawalpur and then in Multan, more than 15,000 young dreamers saw the amazing turnout. Boys and girls, who have many fewer classes, gathered in their hearts not only in their hearts, but also in their eyes to fire, wear green jerseys, carry the burden of not revealing, to change destiny through cricket.

This is not just the story of selection trials. This is a strategic vision, a story of institutional harmony and above all, a powerful return of faith at the bottom. With the Higher Education Commission (HEC) facilitating the trial under the banner of Prime Minister Talent Hunt Youth Sports League, and the Lahore Qalandars provided their experienced coaching and scouting skills, this effort mixed the policy. What came out was a map of how the game could become an engine of national unity, pride and upset.

Someone must praise the leadership of PMYP chairman Rana Meshed Ahmed Khan and the CEO of Lahore Qalandars for running this dream, and even more importantly. Rana Mashid, a former cricketer himself, brings a rare combination of sympathy and administrative campaigns. Meanwhile, more than just one franchise owner, Utf Rana, a mentor, vision, and institution maker, whose ambitions are far ahead of franchise cricket.

These trials were organized on health -like health. The first day in each city fulfills male aspirants, while the second was focused on girls, the move not only encouraged joining but also broke the gender barrier in identifying sports capabilities. The sessions were severe, technical and tough. The coaches of Lahore Qalandars did not just find a filler. He measured mood, adaptation, and cricketing intelligence. It was not about who could kill the longest. It was about who could play for Pakistan.

Islamia University of Bahawalpur (IUB), with its lush green field and world -class facilities, emerged as a shining example of how academia and sports can cooperate. Announcing the announcement of the establishment of a branch of the Lahore Qalandars High Performance Academy in IUB, a formal MOU, in the post of MoU, may be the most important investment in South Punjab cricket in decades.

Let’s make it clear: These measures are not just CSR campaigns or photos options. They are about the inheritance. Pakistan’s cricket future will not be built in the conference rooms in Lahore or Karachi. It will be built on the dustbobels of the streets of Dera Ghazi Khan, Bahawalpur and the academies of Multan. At the same place, our next Wasim Akram, Javed Miandad, or Babar Azam will be upset.

And let’s not ignore emotional gravity. Tears of joy on the faces of selected boys and girls said all this. Many of them were not just about making a team, it was not just about to be seen, to be seen, listened, and appropriate shot. “This is a lifetime opportunity,” said a elected girl from Bahawalpur, her voice is shaking with emotion. “We promise to work hard and, Insha Allah, take pride in Pakistan.” That is why there is a sound of resonance effects in generations.

While the social media discusses the enemies of the Petty franchise and the PCB goes to political waters, the Lahore Qalandars and the PMYP have run their sleeves and talked. They are not just scouting players. They are sewing the torn fabric of regional disparity, and rewriting the story that only the privileged can dream.

This move deserves not only praise, but also support policy. The time has come to remove other franchises, government departments and sports boards from this book. Because real change, like real skills, starts at the bottom. This is not just talent hint. This is a revolution. And in this revolution, 15,000 dreams found one direction.
