Pakistan's cricket captain, Fatima Sana, has articulated a vision for gender parity within the sport, expressing her aspiration for a future where the women's team is treated with the same regard as their male counterparts. Sana, a prominent figure in women's cricket, is currently competing in Australia's Women's Big Bash League (WBBL).
She has called upon fans to actively support women's cricket by attending matches, drawing a parallel to the large crowds that follow men's games. Sana hopes for increased Pakistani representation in international leagues like the WBBL, facilitating growth for cricket back home.
Looking ahead, Pakistan is scheduled to host the 2028 Women's T20 World Cup, an expanded 12-team event. Sana views this as a significant opportunity to inspire more women and girls in Pakistan to engage with and pursue cricket, encouraging greater parental support for their sporting aspirations.
