Pakistan women have made headlines once again as they announced they will be recalling batter Iram Javed for their upcoming tour of Bangladesh, which is scheduled for the later stages of October. It is worth noting that Javed last represented Pakistan at the Commonwealth Games in 2022.
Iram’s presence will undoubtedly strengthen our batting order: Saleem Jaffar
“Young Shawaal Zulfiqar has been omitted from the squad as she requires more grooming before representing again at the international level. The members of the selection committee have recalled experienced Iram Javed in the squad. Iram’s presence will undoubtedly strengthen our batting order in Bangladesh conditions,” Saleem Jaffar was quoted as saying 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 added.
