Islamabad
\nPakistan Cricket Board (PCB), on Wednesday, announced the Pakistan Women squads for the upcoming home T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka, starting May 24.
\nBismah Maroof will continue to lead the side. Bismah has recently participated in the FairBreak Invitational T20 event along with some of her teammates, such as Aliya Riaz, Diana Baig and Fatima Sana, who also have joined the squad.
\nPakistan have picked two uncapped players \u2013 wicketkeeper-batter Gull Feroza and legspinner Tuba Hassan \u2013 for the forthcoming T20I leg. Feroza has been added to the ODI unit as well, which further features another uncapped player Sadaf Shamas. Left-arm spinner Sadia Iqbal, on the other hand, has been recalled to both formats after recovering from an injury.
\nThe two sides will lock horns in the three-match T20I series, followed by as many ODIs between May 24 and June 5 in Karachi. All the six white-ball matches will be played at Karachi\u2019s Southend Club. The three ODIs will form a part of the ICC Women\u2019s Championship 2022-25. Notably, in the last cycle, Pakistan finished fifth, while the visitors were placed at the bottom of the table.
\n\u201cI want to wish the two squads the very best for the series, we have provided opportunities to Gull Feroza, Sadaf Shamas and Tuba Hassan on the basis of their future potential and skills.
\nThe three youngsters took part in the emerging camp last December and made an impression with their talent. I am pleased to see their progress, and we all feel it is now the right time to give them exposure in international cricket,\u201d said Chief Selector Asmavia Iqbal, as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
