Pakistan Women's team announced for ODI series against Bangladesh
A 15 player team has been announced by the selection committee to take on Bangladesh women's team for two one day internationals at Gaddafi stadium, Lahore.
The women selection committee announced the 15-player Pakistan women squad for a two-match ODI series against Bangladesh women on 31st October.
Three changes have been made in the line-up from the one that beat Bangladesh 3-0 in a T20I series this week.
After participating in the ACC Women’s Emerging Teams Cup in Sri Lanka slow left-arm orthodox Nashra Sandhu, leg-spinner Aroob Shah and right-arm medium-fast Fatima Sana come in the side to replace right-hand bat Ayesha Zafar, slow left-arm orthodox Anam Amin and right-arm offbreak Saba Nazir.
After a successful maiden T20I series, Sadia Iqbal has got a call-up for the ODI team. The left-arm spinner took four wickets in three matches at an average of 15.
Keeping in view Pakistan’s final-round ICC Women’s Championship fixtures against England in December, the selection committee jotted down a squad which strikes the balance of youth and experience and serves players a crucial opportunity to warm-up for the exciting series.
The two one-dayers will be played on 2 and 4 November at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium.
