The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday announced a 15-member Pakistan squad for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, with Fatima Sana as captain.
The squad included Fatima Sana (captain), Muneeba Ali Siddiqui (vice-captain), Aliya Riaz, Diana Baig, Eyman Fatima, Nashra Sundhu, Natalia Parvaiz, Omaima Sohail, Rameen Shamim, Sadaf Shamas, Sadia Iqbal, Shawaal Zulfiqar, Sidra Amin, Sidra Nawaz (wicket-keeper), and Syeda Aroob Shah.
The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup will be held from September 30 to November 2, across India and Sri Lanka. Pakistan’s group matches are set to take place in Colombo, Sri Lanka, which will surely test the team’s adaptability to different playing conditions.
Before the World Cup begins, Pakistan’s squad will have the chance to sharpen its skills in a three-match ODI series against South Africa. The series will be held in Lahore from September 16 to 22, with the South African team arriving in the city on September 12. This series promises to be a crucial opportunity for the team to build cohesion and fine-tune their strategies before heading to the main event.
