This World Cup: Pakistan all-rounder Fatima Sana is all set to lead her team in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, with the team marking their sixth appearance in the tournament. Sana, taking charge at the helm at just 23, spoke about her team’s journey and goals ahead of the global tournament

Sana was named captain of the T20I side after regular skipper Nida Dar took an indefinite break from cricket in April 2025. The team has struggled to get going in their recent games, but Sana aims to keep her side united and confident throughout the tournament.

“World Cups are always special, they give every cricketer a chance to test themselves on the biggest stage, and every team the opportunity to show how far they’ve come. For us, as the Pakistan women’s team, this ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup is about playing good cricket, competing hard, and making our country proud,” Sana wrote in her column for the ICC.
