The tour was conducted to celebrate the team's maiden title victory in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2022. Lahore Qalandars defeated defending champions Multan Sultans in the final. The former had come close to winning their maiden in 2020, when they played the final against Karachi Kings. However, they lost the game on a sluggish surface of the National Stadium in Karachi.

After the game, Fawad Rana, owner of the team complained about the surface provided for such a big game. He added that his side had stroke players who couldn't score big as the ball stopped on the surface. The team disappointment its fan base from 2016 to 2019, and in 2021 where they failed to make an impact and finished outside the playoffs. However, their dream come true in 2022.The fans in Lahore jammed the streets after their title win. .
