League and season history

Faisalabad Wolves won the inaugural national T20 title in Lahore in April 2005, beating Karachi Dolphins by two wickets after Saeed Ajmal's player-of-the-match three-wicket return. The current Faisalabad Region name sits in the restored regional structure; the page treats the Wolves title as the city's documented lineage, not as a separate private franchise.
