Fatima Sana to lead Pakistan in the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Uncapped batter Eyman Fatima, who recently made her international debut in the T20Is in Ireland, was included on Monday in the 15-member Pakistan squad to be led by Fatima Sana in the upcoming ICC Women\u2019s World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

Eyman, a right-handed batter, impressed in Pakistan\u2019s National T20 tournament in May.<\/p>\n

Apart from Eyman, six other players \u2013 Natalia Parvaiz (8 ODIs, 24 T20Is), Rameen Shamim (8 ODIs, 11 T20Is), Sadaf Shamas (15 ODIs, 12 T20Is), Sadia Iqbal (27 ODIs, 50 T20Is), Shawaal Zulfiqar (3 ODIs, 9 T20Is) and Syeda Aroob Shah (2 ODIs, 15 T20Is) \u2013 are set for their maiden ODI World Cup appearances.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old Aroob, 20-year-old Shawaal and 20-year-old Eyman featured for Pakistan in the inaugural edition of the ICC Women\u2019s Under-19 T20 World Cup in 2023.<\/p>\n

All-rounder Sana will continue to lead the side, hoping for a successful outing in the global mega-event from September 30 to November 2, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Sana, who represented Pakistan in the previous edition of the women\u2019s World Cup, will lead the side for the first time in the mega event. She had previously captained the side in the women\u2019s World Cup Qualifier held earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Two changes have been made to the 15-member squad from the ICC Qualifiers. Eyman and Sadaf replace Gull Feroza and Najiha Alvi, who are named in the five-member non-travelling reserves alongside Tuba Hassan, Umm-e-Hani, and Waheeda Akhtar.<\/p>\n

Pakistan qualified for the tournament in April this year.<\/p>\n

The side finished in the top position in the qualifiers, winning all their games, including victories over West Indies and Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Pakistan will play all their group-stage matches at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. If Pakistan qualifies for the October 29 semi-final and the November 2 final, both matches will take place in Colombo.<\/p>\n

The same squad will also feature in a three-match ODI series against South Africa at the Gaddafi Stadium from September 16 to 22.<\/p>\n

The 15 players, along with five reserves, will take part in a 14-day pre-South Africa series camp from Friday.<\/p>\n

The players, under the coaching staff led by Muhammad Wasim, will undergo practice sessions and 50-over practice matches. The South African women\u2019s cricket team will arrive in Lahore on September 12.<\/p>\n

Pakistan Squad: Fatima Sana (c), Muneeba Ali Siddiqui (vc), Aliya Riaz, Diana Baig, Eyman Fatima, Nashra Sundhu, Natalia Parvaiz, Omaima Sohail, Rameen Shamim, Sadaf Shamas, Sadia Iqbal, Shawaal Zulfiqar, Sidra Amin, Sidra Nawaz, Syeda Aroob Shah.<\/p>\n

Non-travelling reserves: Gull Feroza, Najiha Alvi, Tuba Hassan, Umm-e-Hani, Waheeda Akhtar.<\/p>\n
