With their announcement that batter Iram Javed will be recalled for their forthcoming tour of Bangladesh, which is set to take place in the latter part of October, Pakistan’s women have once again created headlines. Javed last competed for Pakistan at the Commonwealth Games in 2022, it should be noted.
Three T20Is and three ODIs will make up the women’s series between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Following the publication of the rosters for the series by both teams, it became evident that bowling all-rounder Fatima Sana would not be playing in the match because of the injuries she sustained playing against South Africa women in September.
The Bangladesh tour will also be without the participation of young players Shawaal Zulfiqar and Syeda Aroob Shah, who are likely to be named to the Pakistan emerging team that will train in Muridke in preparation for a series against the West Indies and Thailand later this month.
Iram’s presence will unquestionably improve our lineup: Jaffar Saleem
Following the release of the team, Pakistan’s women’s top selector stood up and discussed the many players who will be left out while also highlighting Javed’s inclusion and how her participation will considerably boost the lineup.
Young Shawaal Zulfiqar was left out of the team because she needs more training before she can compete internationally again. The selection committee members have called back the squad’s seasoned Iram Javed. In Bangladeshi circumstances, Iram’s presence will unquestionably improve our batting order, according to Saleem Jaffar, who was quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
“Fatima Sana is on the road to recovery, and we are committed to giving her the time she needs to be fully prepared for the upcoming away series against New Zealand where the selection committee feels the right-arm fast bowler will be more productive,” she continued.
