Pakistan Cricket Board: Nida Dar has been named the captain of Pakistan's women's cricket team for the women's Asia Cup 2024 as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced a 15-member squad on Sunday. The announcement comes after a challenging tour of England, where Pakistan went winless in both T20I and ODI series, prompting significant changes to the squad.

Batters Ayesha Zafar and Sadaf Shamas are among the notable absentees, reflecting a shift in strategy as the team seeks to regain its competitive edge. The 15-member squad, set to compete in the tournament in Dambulla, Sri Lanka from July 19 to July 28, has seen several players left out, including Natalia Pervaiz, Rameen Shamim, Umm-e-Hani, and Waheeda Akhtar. In their place, four new players have been called up.

Batting allrounder Iram Javed returns after her last T20I appearance on Pakistan's tour of Bangladesh last year. Omaima Sohail and Syeda Aroob Shah make their comebacks, having been absent since tours against New Zealand and South Africa respectively. Tasmia Rubab, a 22-year-old left-arm fast bowler heralded as a rising star, makes her international debut.
