So there is an upcoming female cricketer who is a prodigy and is expected to become amongst the best. The girl is Samiya Afsar.

She had very good batting technique that she was the first ever female cricketer to be sponsored by lahore qalanders.

2 days ago she made her domestic debut at the age of 12 and ended up scoring 64 runs.

Could this girl be our next big thing in womens cricket?

England Women name squads for Pakistan IT20 and ODI series

England Women have named their white-ball squads for the forthcoming Vitality IT20 and Metro Bank ODI series’ against Pakistan, which get underway on Saturday, 11 May.

Left-arm spinner Linsey Smith is again selected after returning to the senior squad for the IT20s in New Zealand while there’s a return for Freya Kemp to the IT20 group. All-rounder Kemp will be available as a batter during the series.

Heather Knight's side start with a three match IT20 series, beginning a week tomorrow at Edgbaston, where England played in front of nearly 20,000 fans in a Women's Ashes IT20 in July 2023. They then travel to The County Ground, Northampton before finishing at Headingley.

That series is followed immediately by three ODIs against the same opposition at Derby, Taunton and Chelmsford.

Head coach Jon Lewis said: “We are really excited to start our home summer. It’s great to be kicking off the summer of sport on home soil. Edgbaston is an incredible place to play cricket, the atmosphere is always special and it will be a huge occasion. I know the group are looking forward to playing in front of our fans in grounds across the country throughout the series.

“It’s great to see England’s men’s and women’s teams playing side by side again after the success of the Ashes last year.

“These two series’ against Pakistan give us an opportunity to build, develop and ensure we are in the best place come the World Cup in Bangladesh in September.

“We are very keen whenever possible to make sure all the players vying for places in the World Cup squad get opportunities to play cricket this summer so that they are able to put in performances that help secure a place in the squad for Bangladesh.”

West Indies Women clinched the fifth T20I by eight wickets on the back of yet another match-winning knock by skipper Hayley Matthews, winning the series with a 4-1 margin on Friday at the National Bank Stadium, Karachi.

In pursuit of the 135-run target, West Indies lost opening batter Rashada Williams (16, 11b, 3x4s) to Sadia Iqbal in the fifth over.

Matthews was then joined by Shemaine Campbelle (33 not out, 35b, 2x4s) on the crease as the duo forged a 103-run second-wicket partnership. Over the course of her innings, Matthews brought up her third half-century (78, 59b, 11x4s) of the series before falling prey to Nashra Sundhu. Sadia and Nashra picked up one scalp apiece.

Earlier, after Pakistan were asked to bat first, the opening batters stitched 38 runs in five overs before Qiana Joseph castled Ayesha Zafar (22, 16b, 4x4s). Muneeba Ali chipped in with a fluent 19-ball 25 on the back of three fours, becoming just the fourth Pakistan Women player to score 1,000 T20I runs.

Pakistan’s middle-order was kept in check as Nida Dar, Gull Feroza, Natalia Parvaiz and Najiha Alvi returned for single-digit scores while Fatima Sana copped a golden duck.

Sidra Amin’s crafty knock of 48 off 52 balls including five fours ended in the penultimate over of the innings. Rameen Shamim’s unbeaten contribution of 16 on 11 balls with two boundaries helped Pakistan post 134-8 in their 20 overs.

Afy Fletcher picked up three wickets. Qiana claimed two scalps while Matthews and Aaliyah Alleyne bagged one each.
