Key Players – Pakistan Women Cricket Team
Fatima Sana
Pakistan’s captain and pace spearhead across both formats. Fatima Sana returns to lead the side at the Asia Cup and the Asian Games, having stepped aside only for the Sri Lanka T20I series due to a Hundred commitment.
Muneeba Ali Siddiqui
Pakistan’s most experienced white-ball wicketkeeper-batter. Her century against Ireland in 2023 remains a landmark in Pakistan Women’s cricket, and she features in both the Asia Cup and Asian Games squads.
Gull Feroza
The form batter in the squad. Two ODI centuries against Zimbabwe in May 2026 make Feroza Pakistan’s most dangerous top-order option heading into both tournaments.
Aliya Riaz
Reliable middle-order bat and useful medium-pace option, selected for the Asian Games squad. One of the first names on the teamsheet whenever available.
Eyman Fatima
An emerging allrounder who offers batting depth and off-spin variety, selected for both the Asia Cup and Asian Games. Featured at the T20 World Cup 2026 and building a consistent case across formats.
Nashra Sandhu
Pakistan’s most productive bowler in women’s white-ball cricket, selected for both tournaments. Her left-arm angle makes her a first-choice bowling option in Dubai and Aichi alike.
