Pakistan Skipper Bismah Maroof rues lack of opportunities in T20 leagues

Maroof, who scored one of her best T20 half-centuries (68 off 55 balls) and young Naseem (43 not out off 25 balls) did push India to the limits but on Monday when most of the players in South Africa would be hoping for a bid, Pakistani girls would only be able to watch it

Teen sensation Ayesha Naseem might have made the cricket world sit back and take notice of her batting prowess against India in the T20 World Cup but her skipper Bismah Maroof is pained at the realisation that Pakistani women won’t be part of the WPL auction.

Maroof, who scored one of her best T20 half-centuries (68 off 55 balls) and young Naseem (43 not out off 25 balls) did push India to the limits but on Monday when most of the players in South Africa would be hoping for a bid, Pakistani girls would only be able to watch it.

Pakistani players are not allowed in BCCI’s flagship events—IPL and now Women’s Premier League (WPL). “We as Pakistan don’t get many opportunities to play in the leagues and that’s very unfortunate. Of course, we are not liking that and definitely we will love to play in  any opportunity we get in the leagues but yeah that’s what it is and we can’t control that,” Maroof said.
