Former Pakistan Women’s Captain Bismah Maroof Calls Time On Her Playing Career
Pakistan Cricket Board: Bismah Maroof, the left-handed batter and former Pakistan women’s captain, has called time on her playing career with immediate effect. The dependable veteran batter recently played in Pakistan’s ODI series against West Indies, which they lost by a disappointing 3-0.
Bismah made her ODI debut against India in 2006 and her T20I debut against Ireland in 2009. She went on to represent Pakistan in 276 international matches, the most by any woman cricketer from her country. She has scored 6,262 international runs, including 33 half-centuries, and has taken 80 international wickets with her right-arm leg-spin.
Following the series loss to West Indies, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) reconstituted the women’s selection committee. Former women’s team players Asmavia Iqbal and Marina Iqbal were retained, while Batool Fatima, Abdul Razzaq and Asad Shafiq (both members of the men’s national selection committee) are a part of the new committee.
