Nissar Trophy

The Mohammad Nissar Trophy was an annual first class cricket competition which took place in September. It was contested over four days between the most recent winners of the Ranji Trophy (India) and Quaid-i-Azam Trophy (Pakistan).[1] The trophy was named after former pre-partition Indian Test cricketer Mohammad Nissar.

The annual contest, which commenced in 2006, was held on a home and away basis. Uttar Pradesh defeated Sialkot in Dharamsala to claim the inaugural title, while Mumbai took on Karachi Urban in Karachi the following season and regained the trophy based on a first-innings lead. In 2008, Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited beat Delhi on a first-innings lead after the match was drawn to become the first Pakistan side to win the trophy.[2][3][4]
