Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), which is a Full Member of the International Cricket Council (ICC), controls the game. The Pakistan Cricket Board and other regional and international cricket bodies sanction Pakistan to participate in cricket tours and tournaments in the Test, One Day International (ODI), and Twenty20 International formats.

After India recommended Pakistan be granted Test status in 1952, Pakistan enjoyed limited international success until the 1980s, when they became fixtures in the later stages of tournaments.
