Talking about the opportunities, Javeria Khan thinks that it would be a great learning experience for the young girls if they get a chance to be the part of PSL teams and have a shot to play alongside the established name of the industry like Ab de Villiers, Darren Sammy.

The 31-year-old, who has represented Pakistan women team in 98 ODIs and 91 T20Is told a private news channel, “PCB should assign girls with various PSL franchises; it would be great for us to have such training opportunities for girls with PSL teams as all the teams have top players. We can learn by training with likes of AB de Villiers, Luke Ronchi or Darren Sammy.”

The steps are already taken and it’s visible with efforts put at a grassroots level. Recently at the inauguration ceremony of a coaching campus and practice pitches for the Women’s Peace League at Bahauddin Zakariya University and the University of Education Lahore, Multan Campus on Wednesday, Multan Sultans Owner Ali Tareen said that the importance of sports, especially cricket, can only be highlighted if women cricket clubs are established at schools, colleges, and universities.
