The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed on Thursday that Bismah Maroof, the national women’s limited-overs squad captain, will return for the 2022-23 season.

“Pakistan are preparing up for an action-packed bumper season in which they will play, at least, 25 matches,” the PCB said on their website, “with the schedules for the ACC Women’s T20 Asia Cup and the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup to be released.”

In what will be the first instance of ICC Women’s Championship matches being held in Pakistan, they will welcome Sri Lanka in Karachi for three T20Is and three ODIs later this month.
