India has previously hosted a T20 challenge for women’s cricketers but only featuring three teams with just a handful of matches.

As many as 8 Indian women cricketers are current;y taking part in the Women’s Big Bash (ongoing 7^th edition of WBBL)– Poonam Yadav (Brisbane Heat), Richa Ghosh (Hobart Hurricanes), Harmanpreet Kaur (Melbourne Renegades), Jemimah Rodrigues (Melbourne Renegades), Shafali Verma (Sydney Sixers), Radha Yadav (Sydney Sixers), Deepti Sharma (Sydney Thunder), Smriti Mandhana (Sydney Thunder).

For Pakistan, All-rounder Nida Dar created history by becoming the first player to play in the Women’s Big Bash League by making her debut for Sydney Thunder.

Reportedly, Pakistan has only had a women’s international team since 1997. Listed below are some of the regular players in the Pakistan women squad.
