Former Pakistan Women cricket team captain Sana Mir has said that in a bid to promote culture of women cricketing in the country women's version of Pakistan Super League (PSL) was need of the hour. The PSL was a wonderful initiative of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that has become a popular brand, he said while talking to a private news channel.
She said that Pakistan women's team has been playing international cricket for the last ten years and maintained its ranking in the top ten slots. "We just defeated West Indies and we have been playing good cricket. Deandra Dottin came to Pakistan to play and I think it was a big message and I think it is time we introduced a women's version of the PSL" she said.
Sana Mir said that initially the PSL women could be start with two or three teams and later it could be expanded to six team of the country. "It is important for Pakistan women team. When we talk about improving the women's game and competing with other international teams, then we need to give out girls exposure. Other teams give their women players' exposure and it is important our players are engaged," she said. Replying to a question about the Lahore Qalandars Players Development Programme for women, he said it was a wonderful initiative that would give a chance to those girls who cannot come out and play cricket like the girls in Karachi and Lahore. She further said It was an excellent initiative to explore new talent and groomed them to play for Pakistan.
Responding to another question about which team she was supporting in this year's PSL, Sana Mir said it was difficult to pick a team since all of the teams have been playing such great cricket. she said "Right now I am supporting cricket." She said "I'm a fan of Darren Sammy's captaincy."
