Quetta has participated in the [Quaid-e-Azam Trophy](/source/Quaid-e-Azam_Trophy) irregularly since 1957–58. For Twenty20 and [List A](/source/List_A_cricket) cricket they are sometimes known as the [Quetta Bears](/source/Quetta_Bears) and have participated in the [Faysal Bank T20 Cup](/source/Faysal_Bank_T20_Cup) and [National One-day Championship](/source/National_One-day_Championship). Quetta played their first first-class matches in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy in 1957–58.[1] They reached the quarter-finals in 1962–63 and 1963–64, and continued playing in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy until 1969–70. They also took part in first-class matches between 1962–63 and 1986–87 for the [Ayub Trophy](/source/Ayub_Trophy), the [BCCP](/source/Pakistan_Cricket_Board) Trophy, the BCCP Patron's Trophy, and the BCCP President's Cup. Quetta played no first-class matches between January 1987 and February 2004, when they once again began to take part in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. After another hiatus they returned to first-class level in the [2024–25 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy](/source/2024%E2%80%9325_Quaid-e-Azam_Trophy). Their home ground is [Bugti Stadium](/source/Bugti_Stadium) (formerly known as the Racecourse Ground) in Quetta, although for security reasons few first-class matches are played in Balochistan. Quetta have usually been one of the weaker teams in Pakistan cricket. To the end of 2024 they have played 141 first-class matches for 22 wins, 81 losses and 38 draws.[2] Their highest individual score is 237 by [Fasihuddin](/source/Fasihuddin) in 1962–63,[3] and the best bowling figures are 8 for 50 by [Gohar Faiz](/source/Gohar_Faiz) in 2012–13.[4] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["The Home of CricketArchive"](https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Teams/0/290/First-Class_Matches.html). *cricketarchive.com*.
