The League Restructuring (2012-13)
In 2012-13 season of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, 14 regional teams have been divided into two groups of seven, with top four teams from each group progressing to the super league while the remaining six would be playing in the plate league. The league toppers will contest in their respective league finals. Either way, each team will at least play eight matches apart from the final.
The new regional teams are allowed to recruit five players from the old department sides, of whom four can be part of the playing XI. In a bid to give bowlers exposure to internationally-recognized cricket balls, the board has also made the use of Kookaburra balls mandatory for the tournament.

Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
