Lahore: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has added three more spots in central contracts for women cricketers for the 2021-22 season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cricket board\u00a0has awarded 20 contracts for the 2021-22 cricket season, which is two more than the previous. These contracts, which come into effect from 1 July, include 12 spots, divided between A, B and C categories, while eight cricketers have been retained in the emerging contracts list.<\/p>\n

Monthly retainers across all rungs \u2013 including the emerging category \u2013 have been increased by 10 per cent and the national women\u2019s selection committee has kept one spot open in the central contracts that will be awarded in the year based on on-field performance.<\/p>\n

The central contracts have been awarded after factoring in the on-field performances in the past one year at both international and domestic level, and with an eye on the future engagements.<\/p>\n

The national women\u2019s side returned to action in January 2021 with the tour of South Africa for three ODIs and three T20Is after the Covid-19 pandemic had put a halt on the game around the world.<\/p>\n

They then played a 50-over fixture against Zimbabwe at Harare before the tour had to be cut short because of the national team\u2019s carrier\u2019s decision to halt its flight operations in the region.<\/p>\n

The 2020-21 season also saw the PCB organise National Triangular T20 Women’s Cricket Championship, a three-team competition, played at Pindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi from 22 November till 1 December.<\/p>\n

All-rounder Nida Dar has been promoted to category B from C. PCB\u00a0Women\u2019s Emerging Cricketer of the Year Award winner of 2020\u00a0has been bumped up from the emerging list to category C of the central contracts<\/p>\n

Kainat Imtiaz has also been given a category C contract with left-arm orthodox spinner Nashra Sandhu<\/p>\n

Javeria Khan, who captained Pakistan in Africa and will continue leading the national side in the three T20Is and five ODIs against West Indies in Antigua, is retained in the top category. She is joined by Bismah Maroof, who is on a maternity leave as per the recently announced PCB\u2019s Parental Support Policy.<\/p>\n

All eight cricketers who received emerging contracts last year have been retained in the category. Meanwhile, wicketkeeper Sidra Nawaz has been demoted to category C from B.<\/p>\n
