Pakistan’s women’s squad for the Asian Games slated to be held in China’s Hangzhou includes new talents, including Anoosha Nasir and Shawaal Zulfiqar, known for their impressive performances in the ICC Under 19 Women’s T20 World Cup and Emerging Women’s Teams Asia Cup, the Pakistan Cricket Board said in a statement on Tuesday.

Dar added that she is confident, as a captain, in the abilities of her teammates, both the experienced ones and the exciting young talents. “Together, we aim to create more unforgettable memories and clinch that third consecutive Gold.”
