Its limited overs team was called Faisalabad Wolves. Kit colours were white for first-class cricket matches and green for one-day and 20/20 competitions. In April 2017, they regained their first-class status after beating Multan and as a result played in the 2017–18 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy tournament.

Since 2023

In 2023, the Faisalabad cricket team was refounded as part of the restructuring of the Pakistani domestic system.[1][2]
