Islamabad: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reconstituted the national women’s selection committee, expanding it to seven members after the disappointing performance of the Pakistan women’s team against the West Indies Women, resulting in a 3-0 loss in the three-ODI series.

The new selection committee includes retained members from the previous panel, Asmavia Iqbal and Marina Iqbal. Abdul Razzaq and Asad Shafiq (both members of the men’s national selection committee) and former international player, Batool Fatima are also included in the committee.

In a statement, released on Thursday PCB stated, “The retained members from the previous panel include Asmavia Iqbal and Marina Iqbal. Joining them are Abdul Razzaq and Asad Shafiq (both members of the men’s national selection committee) and former international player, Batool Fatima. In line with the men’s national selection committee make-up, the coach and captain will also be part of the national women’s selection committee.”

“The immediate task of the new selection committee will be to choose the Pakistan women’s team for the upcoming tour of England, where they are scheduled to play three T20Is and three ICC Women’s Championship 2022-25 fixtures from May 11 to 29,” it further added.
