Quetta Gladiators (Urdu/Balochi: کوئٹہ گلیڈی ایٹرز; Pashto: د کوېټې گليډئيټرز‎) is a Pakistani professional Twenty20 cricket franchise that competes in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The team is nominally based in Quetta, the provincial capital of Balochistan, Pakistan, although all matches in the PSL take place outside of the country due to the security situation in Pakistan. The franchise was established in 2015 as a result of the formation of the PSL by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and is owned by Omar Associates. As of 2016, the team is captained by Sarfraz Ahmed and coached by former Pakistani cricketer Moin Khan.
