Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has disbanded the Women Selection Committee and the process of appointing new members of the committee will be started soon. The decision was taken following a review of the current women cricket structure after a dismal performance of the team in the recently concluded World Cup 2017. The PCB has reviewed the reports of coach, captain, chief selector and manager and has interviewed the manager, captain and GM Women Cricket, a PCB spokesman said.
It was also decided by the PCB to change in the leadership of women wing. Search for a new general manager women cricket will be started through an advertisement in the newspapers, the spokesman said, adding: "A new team manager will be appointed in due course meanwhile, Ayesha Ashhar is being given an interim charge of women wing till such time an appointment of new general manager women cricket is made."
The PCB has further decided to replace Sana Mir as captain of Pakistan women team in 50 over format but she will be eligible for selection as a player in both formats of the game. Bismah Maroof has been given captaincy for One Day format of the game in addition to her current position as captain of T20 format, the spokesman said.
Chairman PCB Najam Sethi stated, "These are well thought out decisions taken after a comprehensive internal review. I am hopeful that we will transform women cricket into a well-knit unit both on field and at the management level. Sana Mir has great contributions towards Pakistan's women cricket. She has played an instrumental role for women's cricket in Pakistan. She has led the team with great respect and had always used her best abilities to serve women's team."
