\nFormer captain of the Pakistan women\u2019s cricket team Sana Mir, welcomed the idea of holding a Pakistan Super League for women, saying a local league will help female cricketers gain exposure and experience.
\nTalking to media, the former all-rounder stressed the need of having more teams in women\u2019s domestic tournaments to increase the players\u2019 pool.
\n\u201cI have been insisting on women\u2019s PSL since day one; our female cricketers need such tournaments,\u201d she said, adding that this will help them enhance their skills.
\nMir added that when you share a dressing room with top players from other countries, you not only learn new things but also get to understand their thought processes.
\n\u201cA league like PSL for women will surely help our cricketers, there\u2019s no doubt. If you want them to go beyond their current limits, then a locally sponsored league is inevitable,\u201d she added.
\nLast month, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja had announced that he aims to start a PSL for U19 and women cricketers, saying that PCB has already started working on the idea.
\nA major challenge would be the number of local players available for the pool. However, Mir said: \u201cYou don\u2019t need a six-team tournament at this stage, you can kick off with four teams and gradually increase the number of teams in the league.\u201d
\n\u201cThere was a tournament recently held in Quetta where five teams participated. So, we can have four teams with top-level local and international players,\u201d she said.
\nMeanwhile, she suggested that the board can work on increasing teams in domestic tournaments.
\n\u201cIf we continue to play with three or four teams in domestic tournaments then we won\u2019t be able to increase our players\u2019 pool but if we increase the number of players in domestic tournaments then new players will come in and it will give us a bigger pool,\u201d the former women\u2019s team captain said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
