Peshawar Zalmi, whose name means Peshawar's Youth, is a professional Twenty20 cricket franchise that competes in the Pakistan Super League. The team is based in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan, and was established in 2015 after the Pakistan Cricket Board announced the inaugural league. The Peshawar franchise was sold to Javed Afridi, chief executive of Haier Pakistan, for 16 million US dollars for a ten-year period, and in November 2025 it renewed its rights for another decade covering 2026 to 2035. Zalmi won the league title in 2017, beating Quetta Gladiators in the final, and again in 2026, beating Hyderabad Kingsmen, and it finished as runner-up in 2018 and 2021. The home ground is the Imran Khan Cricket Stadium in Peshawar. Babar Azam has captained the side since the 2023 season, Kamran Akmal is the franchise's all-time leading run-scorer and Wahab Riaz is its leading wicket-taker.
