The PCB’s Women’s National Selection Committee has established a training camp for 19 players ahead of the Women’s World Cup Qualifier scheduled for April. Tuba Hassan is ruled out due to injury, while Nida Dar returns to training. The Qualifier features six teams, and the top two will qualify for the World Cup in India.
The Women’s National Selection Committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has convened a training camp comprised of 19 players in preparation for the Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier scheduled for April. This initiative builds upon earlier training, following the first phase held in Faisalabad last month, which involved 33 players.
Notably, Tuba Hassan will not participate in the tournament due to a fractured finger, while all-rounder Nida Dar has made a return to training. The players selected for the camp include notable names such as Aliya Riaz, Diana Baig, and Fatima Sana, among others.
The Qualifier will take place at two venues in Lahore, namely Gaddafi Stadium and LCCA Ground, and will feature six competing teams: Pakistan, Bangladesh, Ireland, Scotland, Thailand, and the West Indies. The outcome will determine the top two sides that will advance to the Women’s Cricket World Cup later this year in India.
The Pakistan team will conduct their training camp at the Ghani Glass Academy in DHA, Lahore from March 21 to 30. Over the course of ten days, players will participate in net sessions and engage in 50-over practice matches. Head coach Muhammad Wasim will oversee the camp as camp commandant, supported by fellow national coaches.
In summary, the PCB has organized a robust training camp for the Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier, featuring a curated squad of 19 players, amidst the challenges faced by Tuba Hassan. The camp will intensify preparations at the Ghani Glass Academy, ultimately aiming to secure a place in the upcoming Women’s World Cup in India, with key matches to be held in Lahore.
