History
The team was founded in 2017 to take part in the Grade II of 2016–17 Patron's Trophy. In May 2019, then Prime Minister Imran Khan revamped the domestic cricket structure in Pakistan, excluding departmental teams in favour of regional sides, therefore ending the participation of the team. The team was refounded in March 2023 after a revamp of the domestic structure. In December 2023, the Pakistan Cricket Board confirmed that Ghani Glass would be one of the teams to participate in the 2023–24 President's Trophy. The team made their first-class debut on 16 December 2023, drawing the match against Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited. This was the first time that Ghani Glass competed in a first-class tournament in Pakistan.Current squad
