The Women’s National Selection Committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has convened a training camp for 19 players in preparation for the Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier scheduled for April. This training follows an earlier gathering of 33 players in Faisalabad as part of their extensive preparation for the tournament.
Notably, Tuba Hassan has been excluded from the squad due to a fractured finger. Conversely, all-rounder Nida Dar is making a return to training. Key players participating in the camp include Aliya Riaz, Diana Baig, Fatima Sana, and several wicket-keepers such as Muneeba Ali and Najiha Alvi.
The qualifier will take place at Gaddafi Stadium and LCCA ground in Lahore, involving six participating teams: Pakistan, Bangladesh, Ireland, Scotland, Thailand, and the West Indies. The top two teams will qualify for the Women’s Cricket World Cup, which is set to occur later this year in India.
Training will commence at the Ghani Glass Academy in DHA, Lahore from March 21 to 30. During this 10-day camp, players will engage in net sessions and participate in 50-over practice matches. Muhammad Wasim, the head coach of the women’s team, will direct the camp with assistance from fellow coaches.
Pakistan’s training camp is essential for their strategy as they prepare for the Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier. With a mixture of experienced and returning players, the team aims to secure a place in the upcoming World Cup. The rigorous training schedule includes both net sessions and practice matches to enhance team performance before facing strong competition.
