Fatima Sana Named Skipper For Pakistan’s Second ODI Against New Zealand As Nida Dar Ruled Out
Emerging Teams Asia Cup: Fast-bowler Fatima Sana has been named skipper for Pakistan’s second ODI against New Zealand after regular skipper Nida Dar was ruled out of playing in the match, to be held at Hagley Oval on Friday.
In the first ODI against New Zealand at the John Davies Oval in Queenstown, Nida was struck by a ball on her own bowling in the 44th over of the innings. She was subsequently taken off the field due to the impact, with Fatima being the stand-in captain.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said following an assessment by doctor on Thursday, Nida reported to have symptoms of concussion and she has been advised for a complete rest for next two days. PCB added that Nida’s availability for the third ODI will be determined in due course.
