Cricket | Pakistan women name ODI, T20I squad for Sri Lanka tour

Pakistan women have named their ODI and T20I squad for a crucial limited-overs tour of Sri Lanka later this month, where they play three ODIs and three T20Is. The three ODIs will particularly be pivotal to both the teams as they will look to earn key points in the ICC Women's ODI Championship 2017-2020.

Twenty-three-year-old opener Ayesha Zafar is not part of the 14-member squad, while senior batter Nain Abidi and all-rounder Asmavia Iqbal continue to be kept out, after missing Pakistan's series against New Zealand in November last year.

Aliya Riaz, who didn't feature in the Women's World Cup but returned to the side for the New Zealand ODIs, has not been included either.

The three ODIs will all be played in Dambulla on March 20, 22, and 24, followed by the T20Is on March 28, 30 and 31 in Colombo.

Squad: Bibi Nahida, Sidra Amin, Javeria Wadood, Bismah Maroof (C), Fareeha Mahmood, Muneeba Ali Siddiqui, Sidra Nawaz, Sana Mir, Nida Rashid, Kainat Imtiaz, Natalia Parvaiz, Nashra Sundhu, Ghulam Fatima, Diana Baig, Aiman Anwer
