It’s been another busy winter for the committee, meeting new applicants to join the league for season 2025.
In the league’s inaugural year a mission statement was agreed and one of the leagues’ four goals was to grow the number of clubs from 24 in the first season to 40 at the end of the fifth season. It is with pride and hard work from the committee members to celebrate this achievement. We also appreciate the contribution from Saturday league (Bradford PL, Huddersfield CL, AireWharf CL, Dales CL, Pontefract CL and Halifax CL) clubs who have made this possible as without their support in providing access to ground this growth may not have been achievable.
With the acceptance of the following clubs for season 2025, the league now have 40 clubs in 4 sections (division).
- Premier Section (10 clubs)
- Crescent Section (10 Clubs)
- Parallel Section – Jinnah (10 Clubs) and Star Section (10 Clubs)
New clubs joining season 2025
- Secured Homes Cricket Club, Bradford
- Yorkshire United Cricket Club, Huddersfield
- Kashmirians Cricket Club, Dewsbury
We have a forth club who we are currently in discussion with and may join either the QEAPCL or the Dewsbury and District SCL.
At the Dewsbury and District CL AGM it was agreed that for season 2026 the clubs in the DDCL will form the 5th Section (division) of the Quaid e Azam Premier Cricket League and any new clubs wishing to apply to the league would join the 5th section.
