Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof regrets lack of opportunities in global T20 leagues
Young sensation Ayesha Naseem may have impressed the cricket world with her batting against India in the T20 World Cup but her skipper Bismah Maroof is upset that the Pakistani women cricketer will not be part of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) auction. .
Bismah (68 off 55 balls) and young Ayesha (43 not out off 25 balls) helped Pakistan mount a tough fight against India in their T20 World Cup tie but on Monday most of the top women players in South Africa won the WPL auction. Pakistani girls can only watch it on their phones if they are looking forward to join the team. Pakistani players (male or female) are not allowed to play in BCCI’s premier competitions IPL and now WPL.
Bismah said, “As Pakistan, you know we don’t get many opportunities to play in the league which is very unfortunate. Of course we don’t like this happening and of course we would love to play every chance we get in the league but yes, the situation is like this and we cannot control it. I pointed out the mistakes.
He said, “I think overall we played very good cricket throughout the match but I think there were mistakes in our bowling. I think it was a very good match overall and we will do better in the next match. Bismah praised the depth of India’s batting.
