Pakistan women’s cricket team skipper Bismah Maroof has resigned from her position as captain, to “make way for a younger colleague”, PCB’s Najam Sethi said Wednesday.
In a tweet, Najam Sethi said he accepted Bismah’s resignation, stating that she wants to make way for a younger colleague.
The left-hander will continue to be available for Pakistan as a regular player, though, and “bring laurels for her country,” Sethi added.
Under Bismah’s direction, Pakistan’s women’s team won 27 of 62 T20 Internationals while losing 32 of them. While under Bisma’s captaincy, Pakistan won 16 out of 34 ODI games.
As an all-rounder for Pakistan, Bismah bats left-handed and bowls right-arm leg breaks. In both ODI and T20I forms as of June 2022, Bismah was the Pakistani women’s cricket team’s most run-scorer.
She has played 124 ODIs throughout the course of her 17-year career, scoring 3110 runs at an average of 30.2 runs per game. Bismah has amassed 2658 runs in 132 T20I appearances for an average of 27.
