Lahore, March 4 Not a single woman cricketer was inducted as a member when the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced a four-member women's selection committee.

The members of the committee are Farrukh Zaman, Ashraf Ali, Manzoor Elahi, and Mansoor Rana. Surprisingly, Mansoor is also the national women team's coach.

At least one woman selector in the committee may have assisted the selectors in better interaction with women cricketers to avoid any communication gap.
