Pakistanís women cricket team manager, Aisha Asher, believes that the tour of Nepal women team for a friendly series in Pakistan is a good sign for national cricket.
Nepal team will arrive at Lahore on February 9 with the first T20 set to be played on February 11.
“I see the tour of a foreign team to Pakistan as a very healthy sign and I hope that it may pave the way for the return of international cricket,” Aisha Asher told PPI.
She said, “it would also be highly beneficial in preparing for the World Cup qualifiers, to be held in Bangladesh this November.”
