It is pertinent to mention that Bismah Maroof stepped down as the Pakistan women’s cricket team captain, following a disastrous ICC Women’s T20 World Cup campaign in February.
She led Pakistan for six years but failed to get the team beyond the first round at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa. The side lost to arch-rivals India, England and the West Indies at the showpiece event.
They could secure a consolation win over Ireland.
Pakistan won 16 out of 34 one-day internationals and 27 out of 62 T20Is under her leadership.
The PCB said a new skipper will be selected before the team’s limited-overs series against South Africa at home in September. All-rounder Nida Dar, who led the team when Maroof was unfit, is tipped as the favourite to fill the role.
