2023–24 President's Trophy Grade-I

The 2023–24 President's Trophy Grade-I was a first-class domestic cricket competition played in Pakistan. The tournament was originally scheduled to be played from 16 December 2023 to 31 January 2024, however, the final was later rescheduled to begin on 6 February 2024. The final was rescheduled a second time to 9 February and moved from Karachi to Rawalpindi. It was played by seven departmental teams, across three venues in Karachi and one venue in Rawalpindi. In December 2023, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed the fixtures for the tournament. It marked the return of departmental cricket in Pakistan since the 2018–19 season. Although eight teams were originally scheduled to participate, Sui Southern Gas Company pulled out of the tournament.

Competition format
The seven departmental teams played each other in a round-robin format, therefore playing six matches each. The tournament consisted of 22 matches, which were divided as seven rounds of league stage matches. The top two teams played each other in the final match. The league worked on a points system with positions being based on the total points. Before the start of the tournament, the PCB brought some changes to the playing conditions. All matches were restricted to 80 overs in the first innings. Teams scoring 350 or more runs earned a batting bonus point, while a bonus point was awarded to the bowling side if they managed to dismiss the opponent within the stipulated 80 overs. If a captain decided to either declare or forfeit his team's first innings before the completion of 80 overs, the bowling side got bowling bonus points. == Squads ==
