LAHORE: In an effort to develop women cricket in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), the PCB on Wednesday reached an understanding of lease agreement with the Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Women University (SBBWU), Peshawar.
Under the lease agreement, the SBBWU will provide its cricket grounds on lease to the PCB for establishing a state-of-the-art cricket academy dedicated to women’s cricket development.
The collaboration aims at providing top-notch facilities and services to aspiring women cricketers. The availability of hostel facilities at SBBWU enables women cricketers across the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to have convenient access to the cricket ground.
Head of Pakistan Women Cricket Tania Mallick expressed the hope that the exciting partnership with the SBBWU Peshawar is in line with the PCB’s vision of fostering the growth of women cricket. She said, “The academy will serve as a centre for skill development as we are committed to seeing women’s cricket thrive in the region.’
