From Wimbledon to Women’s Cricket: Tahira Hameed’s Historic Legacy
It is being believed that at Colombo, rain deprived Pakistan of what would have been a memorable win against four-time champions England. Truth is that Pakistan Team’s participation in the World Cup itself is much more memorable and historic. Against the backdrop of a conservative society and religious sentiments in Pakistan, girls played cricket, formed a team to play international cricket without any support from PCB at that time, is no mean achievement. The present generation of Pakistan women cricketers should thank the inspiring force behind it. Unfortunately, today nobody remembers that guiding and inspiring force and her story is lost in the history pages.
