As of mid-January 2014 they had played 378 first-class matches, with 166 wins, 70 losses, 141 draws and 1 tie.[2] They had also played 257 List A matches, with 181 wins, 73 losses and 3 no-results,[3] and 10 Twenty20 matches, with 8 wins, 2 losses.[4]

In May 2019, Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan revamped the domestic cricket structure in Pakistan, excluding departmental teams in favour of regional sides, therefore ending the participation of the team.[5] The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was criticised in removing departmental sides, with players voicing their concern to revive the teams.[6]
