ISLAMABAD: On Tuesday, Bismah Maroof, the captain of the Pakistan women’s cricket team, departed for Ireland with her young daughter Fatima.
Fatima, who made her public debut at the ICC Women’s World Cup earlier this year, received special permission to accompany her mother, a cricket player, on the two significant international assignments.
Starting on July 16, the Pakistan women’s team will take part in a tri-nation T20 series against Australia and the host Ireland.
The Commonwealth Games, which will begin on July 29 in Birmingham, England, will be played at a later time by the Green Shirts.
Cricket has been incorporated among other events for the first time in the history of the Commonwealth Games.
