Pakistan women’s captain Fatima Sana, playing in the WBBL, calls for equal recognition, fan support and more opportunities ahead of the 2028 T20 World Cup.

Pakistan women’s cricket captain Fatima Sana has called for more recognition, opportunities and support for female cricketers, while speaking during her stint with Australia’s Perth Scorchers in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL).

Equal Treatment and Fan Support

Sana, 25, wants Pakistan’s men’s and women’s teams to receive equal treatment, including comparable support from fans. She urged spectators to bring to women’s matches the enthusiasm they show at men’s games, and hopes stadiums fill for women’s matches.

Overseas Opportunities

She wants more Pakistani women to get overseas league opportunities, especially in the WBBL, and hopes her experience will inspire other players and boost the women’s game at home.

Form in the WBBL

Sana made her WBBL debut on October 31 and has taken five wickets in five matches, with an economy rate of 7.62. She is playing alongside former New Zealand captain Sophie Devine and Australian batter Beth Mooney.

2028 Women’s T20 World Cup

Pakistan will host the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in 2028, its first ICC women’s event, with 12 teams. Sana believes it could encourage more girls to play and could persuade families to give their daughters more freedom to pursue cricket.
