Bismah Maroof retained as Pakistan women's team captain

LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday confirmed that Bismah Maroof has been retained as the captain of the Pakistan women's team for the 2022/23 season.

The decision means that Bismah Maroof will continue to be at the helm since former off-spinner Sana Mir stepped down from the role in 2016 (T20Is) and 2017 (ODIs).

"It is truly an honour for any cricketer to captain their country and it is a great privilege for me to continue in this role. The 2022-23 cricket season is the busiest for Pakistan women's side and we are excited and geared up for the challenges it presents," said Maroof in a PCB Statement.

Pakistan's 2022/23 season will be a packed one, starting from hosting Sri Lanka in Karachi for three T20Is and as many ODIs. The side will then head for Belfast to play hosts Ireland and reigning T20 World Cup champions Australia in a tri-series from July 12-24 before moving to Birmingham for the Commonwealth Games to be held from July 25 to August 8.
