IMC Over-40s T20 World Cup 2025

Pakistan Veterans Cricket Association (PVCA) is the officially recognized governing body for senior and veterans level cricket in Pakistan. Registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) under the Companies Ordinance 1984. PVCA oversees cricket in three age categories: Over-40, Over-50, and Over-60 categories...

Pakistan has an outstanding record in veterans cricket, having won championships across all three levels:

Pakistan Over 60s team won the inaugural Over 60s World Cup in Brisbane, Australia (September 2022).
Pakistan Over-40s team secured victory in the Over-40s Cricket Global Cup in Karachi (September 2023).
Pakistan Over 50s team, currently the top-ranked team in the world, recently won the Over 50s World Cup in Colombo (February 2025).

We take immense pride in these achievements and remain committed to fostering veterans cricket in Pakistan.

Building on the resounding success of the Over-40s Cricket Global Cup held in Karachi in 2023, the Pakistan Veterans Cricket Association (PVCA) is proud to host the IMC Over-40s T20 World Cup from 21st November to 1st December 2025, once again in Karachi. This prestigious tournament is officially sanctioned by the International Masters Cricket (IMC), the global governing body for Veterans and Masters-level cricket.

Twelve International teams have been finalized to participate in the this T20 World Cup including Pakistan, Australia, South Africa, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, USA, Canada, Hong Kong China, UAE, Rest of Gulf (ROG) and Rest of the World.

Teams will be divided into two groups, and a total of 42 matches are scheduled across five venues in Karachi. 15 matches, including all of Pakistan’s games, will be played at the National Bank Stadium and broadcast live on Geo Super. The remaining matches will be live-streamed on social media platforms, ensuring global digital reach.

This event marks the first time in cricket history that so many international teams will compete in a single city for a World Cup-level tournament, offering an unprecedented opportunity to enhance Pakistan’s global image as a safe and sports-friendly destination.

The IMC Over-40s T20 Cricket World Cup will feature a host of renowned former international cricketers, adding significant prestige and excitement to the tournament. The Pakistan team is expected to include legendary names such as Shahid Afridi, Younus Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq, Abdul Razzaq, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, and Kamran Akmal, along with several other former national stars. Additionally, we anticipate strong representation from ex-international players across participating nations, further elevating the global appeal and competitive quality of the event.

Pakistan's Over-60s side put in a commanding all-round performance to beat IMC Emerging XI by a margin of 88 runs at Teramoto Ground, Mississauga, in their second match of the IMC Over-60s Cricket World Cup 2026. After being invited to bat first, Pakistan built a solid platform through Muhammad Jaffar Qureshi (33) and Mazhar Hussain (29). Saghir Abbas struck a valuable 40 off 45 balls before a late unbroken stand between Babar Altaf Butt and Syed Zafar Ali, who scored 30 and 47 runs respectively, took the total to 241-6 in the allotted 45 overs.In reply, Rafiullah Syed and Ishrat Ansari offered some resistance for IMC Emerging XI, managing 45 and 31 runs respectively, but the side was eventually bowled out for 153 in 37.2 overs, handing Pakistan a comprehensive victory. Syed Zafar Ali was outstanding with the ball, returning figures of 4-19 from 7.2 overs, while Muhammad Jaffar Qureshi also chipped in with a couple of wickets. Fawad Ijaz Khan, Aamir Hameed and Ather Minhas also took one wicket each, returning figures of 1-2, 1-25 and 1-31 respectively.

A hard-fought contest ended in an agonisingly close loss for Pakistan Over-60s Team, as the side began their campaign with a narrow three-wicket defeat to Wales in their opening match of the IMC Over-60s Cricket World Cup 2026 at Courtneypark Ground, Mississauga.Pakistan posted 198-5 in 45 overs, with Babar Altaf Butt top-scoring on 52 off 73 balls and Saghir Abbas contributing 38 runs. In reply, Wales chased down the target at 199-7 in 44.5 overs, powered by a 119-run partnership between Steve Maddock (90 off 136) and Michael Cann (56 off 68). Pakistan fought back with the ball late in the innings, but Wales held their nerve to get over the line on the penultimate ball. Michael Cann was named Player of the Match for his superb all-round contribution.A tough start, but the campaign continues. Pakistan will look to bounce back in their next Pool A fixture against IMC Emerging XI today. ... See MoreSee Less
