Sidra Nawaz Bhatti has been that ever-reliable presence for over a decade. A sharp wicketkeeper and right-handed batter, Sidra embodies grit, consistency, and leadership, making her a vital cog in Pakistan’s women’s cricket journey.

Sidra’s love for the game took her from domestic cricket in Lahore, Punjab, and Federal Capital to representing corporate giants like Omar Associates, State Bank of Pakistan, and Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited. Sidra’s value went beyond her glovework.

In June 2021, she was trusted with leadership, named captain of the Pakistan Women’s A Team for their 20-over matches against the West Indies. Her appointment reflected not only her experience but also the respect she commanded in the dressing room.

While primarily known for her wicketkeeping, Sidra has also contributed valuable runs down the order. In 55 ODI innings, she has scored 433 runs, with a career-best of 47, often stepping in to stabilize innings during crunch moments. Her batting numbers might not tell the full story, but her calm presence has often provided Pakistan with much-needed resilience in the lower middle order.

Behind the stumps, she has been a dependable figure, swift with stumpings, reliable with catches, and vocal in guiding the bowlers. Her sharp reflexes and game awareness have made her one of Pakistan’s longest-serving wicketkeepers.

By the mid-2020s, Sidra had become one of the most experienced players in the Pakistan camp. She was part of the squad for the 2021 Women’s World Cup Qualifiers, the 2022 World Cup in New Zealand, and the 2025 Women’s World Cup Qualifier at home, continuing to be a trusted name in the squad list.

For younger players breaking into the side, Sidra’s presence has been invaluable. As a senior, she has played the dual role of performer and mentor, ensuring Pakistan’s cricketing culture remains strong and forward-looking.
