Women’s cricket is growing around the world and positive changes are required to advance it

KECH, BALOCHISTAN: Congratulations are in order for Pakistan women’s cricket star Sana Mir for her inclusion in the ICC Women’s Committee.

Sana Mir, the former Pakistani captain and the leading spinner in women’s ODIs, is joined by Australia’s Lisa Sthalekar and Mithali Raj of India as current player representatives on the committee, which met for the first time in London on Thursday during the ICC Annual Conference week.

Women’s cricket is growing around the world and positive changes are required to advance it. The inclusion of Sana, along with the other two, will help women’s international cricket get stronger, especially as one can see Sana’s latest achievement as a sign of improvement and encouragement for our young girls.

This will bring growth and development in women’s cricket. I urge the Pakistan Cricket Board to pay more attention to women’s cricket.

M Bakhtiyar
