Sana Mir Clarifies Schedule Issue with PCB
The team's international season will conclude with the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026, and they will also participate in a T20I tri-series in Ireland in May-June 2026. The PCB's commitment to the women's team is evident in the packed schedule, and fans can look forward to exciting matches and strong performances from the team.
Pakistan's women's cricket team is set to embark on a packed international season, featuring two major global events, the 50-over ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 and the T20 ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026, with a series of T20I and ODI matches against Ireland, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.
The team's schedule begins with a T20I series against Ireland in August, followed by an ODI series against South Africa in September. They will then host the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifiers, where they will face Sri Lanka and potentially other teams. The PCB has outlined the women's team's commitments leading up to the World Cup, including training camps, home and away series, and practice matches.
Former women's cricket captain Sana Mir had earlier expressed concern about a perceived scheduling conflict between the National Women's One-Day Tournament and the ICC Women's One-Day World Cup. However, the PCB clarified that the tournament is scheduled to begin on November 10 in Karachi, while the World Cup concludes on November 2, with no overlap. Sana Mir later acknowledged the misinterpretation after the PCB's rebuttal.
The PCB's clarification has put to rest any concerns about the scheduling conflict, and the team can now focus on their preparations for the upcoming international season. With a packed schedule ahead, the Pakistan women's cricket team is set to make a strong impact on the global stage.
