April 28th 2024.
Earlier this month, a shocking incident took place involving some members of the national women's cricket team. It all started when the players broke curfew and left their camp, which was organized for the ongoing white-ball home series against the West Indies. As a result, two players were seriously injured in a road accident in Lahore. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed the incident and shared that they have taken strict disciplinary action against the players involved.
The Chairman of the PCB, Mohsin Naqvi, addressed the media on Sunday and expressed his disappointment over the players' behavior. He revealed that five to six players had gone out in the evening without informing the team management during the camp, which was held from April 2nd to 8th in Karachi. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse when the players got into a road accident, leading to severe injuries for two of them. Naqvi stated that the injured players are currently receiving treatment and the PCB is closely monitoring their progress.
Naqvi also shared that the incident had a significant impact on the team's performance in the ODI series against the West Indies. This was evident as one of the key players, Fatima Sana, sustained an injury. However, what was surprising was that Sana still played in all three matches of the ODI series, which ended on April 23rd. She also played in the first T20I match on April 26th. The PCB Chief did not disclose the nature of Sana's injury, but it was clear that her performance was affected by it.
To ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future, the PCB is taking strict measures. Naqvi announced that a full-time senior rank security police officer will be appointed to accompany the team at all times. This will help enforce proper timings and discipline among the players. He also mentioned that the PCB is currently in talks with a high-profile foreign coach to be appointed as the head coach of the Pakistan women's team.
The incident has caused a lot of concern and disappointment among the cricket community, and the PCB is determined to take necessary action to prevent such incidents from happening again. They have also urged the players to take responsibility and maintain discipline for the betterment of the team. Let us hope that this incident serves as a lesson for the players and they learn from their mistakes.
