After playing for some seasons in the non-first-class grades of the Patron's Trophy, Pakistan Television were promoted to first-class status to play in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy in the 2010-11 season. They played 9 matches, winning 3, losing 2 and drawing 4, and finished sixth out of 10 teams in Division Two.[1] Awais Zia hit their highest score of 232 (out of a team total of 426) against State Bank of Pakistan.[2]

They returned to non-first-class status in 2011-12. They won the final in Grade Two of the Patron's Trophy in 2012-13,[3] and resumed at first-class level in 2013-14 in the top level of the Patron's Trophy, but they finished last out of eleven, with 2 wins, 7 losses and a draw.[4] They also finished last in the President's Cup One-Day Tournament, with 2 wins and 8 losses.[5]

They lost their first-class status in 2014, but regained it in 2017, and returned to the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy for the 2017–18 tournament.[6] In November 2017, in round 7 of the tournament, they were bowled out for 37 runs in their second innings against Khan Research Laboratories.[7] This was the fifth-lowest total in the history of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.[8]
