Southern Punjab was one of the established teams in Indian domestic cricket from the 1940s through the 1960s, competing in the North Zone of the Ranji Trophy. The side drew players from the cricketing centres of the Punjab region, including Patiala, Ludhiana and adjoining districts. Following administrative reorganisation of cricket in the region, the Southern Punjab team was eventually succeeded by Punjab in domestic cricket.
Amrit Lal represented Southern Punjab in first-class matches during the 1960s. The team played in the North Zone group of the Ranji Trophy alongside sides such as Delhi, Northern Punjab, Services, Jammu and Kashmir, and Railways during this period.
Players such as Amrit Lal formed part of the broader pool of cricketers who sustained Indian first-class cricket in the post-independence decades, particularly in the North Zone, which was a strong contributor to the Ranji Trophy. The careers of regional cricketers from this era are documented in the records of the BCCI and in standard cricket reference works.
