Heather Knight, the captain of the England women’s cricket team, expressed her excitement about hosting the Pakistan women’s squad the next month.
After an eight-year break, the green shirts will return to England for a bilateral series in which they will face the host team in three Twenty20 internationals and then three One Day Internationals.
The skipper of the 2017 cricket World Cup, Knight, said to local media that her side is ready for the visitors and that the Pakistani women’s team has been playing well in the just finished series against New Zealand. The team is not taking the matches against Pakistan lightly.
Knight said that although there are other really excellent cricketers on the Pakistan women’s squad, Fatima Sana is the one to watch. It will be thrilling to take on the young Pakistani all-rounder in the FAIRBREAK cricket event, with whom she previously played and who pleased her.
While the Pakistani women’s team has played a few times in England, most recently in 2022 for the Commonwealth Games, England women have never been to Pakistan.
The England men’s team was supposed to make a quick stop in Pakistan to play two Twenty20 Internationals before traveling to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the ICC T20 World Cup. As a result, security concerns forced the ECB to cancel the series, which included three Twenty20 Internationals (ODIs) and two Twenty20 Internationals.
