ICC Connects Young Girls With Cricketing Heroes From Bangladesh And Pakistan

Dubai, Oct 9, 2024: The ICC under its Cricket4Good initiative has hosted two clinics at the ICC Academy Indoor Nets in Dubai, featuring stars from the Bangladesh and Pakistan Women’s teams, who are currently competing in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. 

Held on October 4 and 5 in partnership with UNICEF, the clinics drew over 100 eager young girls, all excited for the opportunity to learn from their cricketing role models.

On Friday, Bangladesh’s entire squad, led by Nigar Sultana, Shathi Rani and Sobhana Mostary participated in the session, engaging the girls in a variety of activities designed to enhance their cricketing skills. Saturday’s clinic saw four players from Pakistan’s squad — Najiha Alvi, Tasmia Rubab, Sadaf Shamas, and Syeda Aroob Shah — providing personal guidance to the young girls, teaching them lessons in focus, perseverance, and the fundamentals of the game.
