BEST NEWS IN PAKISTAN CRICKET: After being named Pakistan’s captain for the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup, starting from October 3 in the UAE, fast-bowler Fatima Sana said she will give it her all in the role to make the country proud.

Fatima takes over as Pakistan’s captain for the mega event from veteran off-spin all-rounder Nida Dar. It will be the first time she will captain Pakistan in T20Is and more so, in a World Cup. Fatima previously led Pakistan twice in ODIs when Nida was out due to concussion, and was at the helm in the side’s Super Over win against New Zealand at Hagley Oval.

“Bismillah! There’s no greater honour than leading your country on any stage. I’m deeply honoured by the great responsibility entrusted to me by the @TheRealPCB. I humbly request your support and prayers as I step into this new chapter of my career. As always, I’ll give my all to make Pakistan proud,” wrote Fatima on ‘X’.
