PCB should announce a separate tournament for female cricketers: Shaan Shahid

The actor also proposed a title and trophy to the Pakistan Cricket Board

Actor-cum-producer, Armughan Shahid, popularly known as Shaan Shahid, recently spoke up in support for the Women's Cricket team of Pakistan after their win against West Indies by eight wickets.

Shaan wrote, "Women in green, so proud of you for bringing us pride honour and joy . Keep shining."

After the pat on their backs he addressed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), "PCB must support the women’s cricket in Pakistan. A new tournament should be introduced for women titled Women's Domestic Cricket, along with a Fatima Jinnah cup which should be equivalent to a Quaid e Azam trophy," opined the star.
