KARACHI: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Women’s Wing Chairperson Bushra Aitzaz has said that they would welcome any positive move regarding women’s cricket matches between Pakistan and India.

Giving her reaction to Dawn about the recent talks between the foreign ministers of both countries, where a number of confidence-building measures (CBMs) including women’s cricket tours to boost bilateral ties between the two countries were discussed, she said it would be great if that could happen.

“I would really welcome such a move as we have been getting invitations from clubs in the Indian Punjab and Chennai with our being unable to accept them due to the tension between both countries,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Wing will be holding camp for the upcoming tour of West Indies in Muridke from Aug 12 for which they plan to call all the 19 central contract players along with a few other women cricketers.

Asked if holding camp would be a problem during the month of Ramazan, she thought that there really shouldn’t be.

“The girls are all thorough professionals. It should make no difference to them,” she concluded.

The team leaves for the Caribbean on August 24.
