Pakistan all-rounder Kainat Imtiaz has lauded the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) decision to hold exhibition matches during the latest edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
In an exclusive interview with Geo Digital, the all-rounder said that playing alongside foreign players helped young cricketers get familiar with international standards.
During PSL 8, three exhibition matches for women were held where international female cricketers also participated. It was a trial run for the main women’s league, which is expected to be launched in September this year.
Imtiaz further expressed hope that the upcoming women’s PSL would further help improve players, the impact of which will be visible in upcoming years.
About her cricket journey, Kainat shared: “I was a ball picker in the Women’s Asia Cup 2005, held in Pakistan. At that event, I was very impressed by the game and former Indian women’s cricketer Jhulan Goswami’s humble personality.
“That is when I decided that I would become a fast bowler. However, later I started batting too.”
