England captain keeps selection doors open ahead of T20 World Cup
The English summer begins with the 50-over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy on Saturday, giving domestic players the chance to play themselves into the plans for the T20 World Cup squad.
The off-break bowler has played 120 ODIs and 106 T20Is for Pakistan in which she has scalped 151 and 89 wickets respectively. In October 2018, she became the first Pakistani women cricketer to achieve the numero uno spot in the ICC ODI bowlers’ ranking.
Pakistan woman cricketer Sana Mir on Wednesday announced that she will be taking a break from international cricket in order to reset her “future objectives and targets”.
Sana will, therefore, miss next month’s ICC Women’s Championship ODIs and T20Is against England.
“I have decided to take a break from international cricket and, as such, will not be available for selection for next month’s series against England. I will utilise this time to plan and reset my future objectives and targets,” Sana said in an official statement released by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
