The sports sector is also underdeveloped. Major events like football, volleyball and wrestling matches only take place in Sibi. There are a number of traditional games, such as wrestling, horse-racing, tent-pegging and rabbit hunting, but they are not frequently played. In rural areas, playing cards is very popular. There is a Divisional Sports Officer at Dera Murad Jamali, under the Commissioner Office of the Divisional Headquarters.

Recently, an officer's club has been established at Dhadar. The club has badminton, billiard and snooker facilities. Beside this club, there are no sports facilities organised at government level.

Urban and rural youth play sports, football and volleyball, without any supporting infrastructure. The games are played on dirt lawns in schools and government offices' premises in the evening. Cricket is rarely played. But youth and educated persons in urban areas have a taste for it. During a one-day international, one can see them watching TV enthusiastically. Snooker has been played with interest, since its introduction in Dhadar and Mach by private enterprise in 1992. Youngsters play for fun and bet.

The bottlenecks for the development of sports are training facilities, illiteracy, poverty, and lack of government and NGO support.
