The Pakistan Cricket Board: Wicketkeeper-batter Sidra Nawaz, who was part of Pakistan women’s ODI squad for the recent home series against the West Indies, but did not get to play a game, is a notable omission from the 17-member squad selected for the upcoming white-ball tour of England.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said veteran off-spin all-rounder Nida Dar will continue to lead the side, which will feature in three T20Is from May 11-17 and in as many ODIs from May 23-29.

This will be Pakistan’s first overseas tour after the retirement of veteran batter and former skipper Bismah Maroof. Sidra’s omission comes as Pakistan have two wicketkeeper-batters in Muneeba Ali and Najiha Alvi.
