The Pakistan national women's cricket team is a professional cricket team that represents Pakistan in international women's cricket matches.
History
[edit] 1990s
Pakistan first appeared in women's cricket in 1997 and playing against New Zealand and Australia. They lost all three One Day International matches on that tour, but they were still invited to take part in the Women's Cricket World Cup later that year in India. They lost all five matches in the tournament and finished last, out of the eleven teams in the competition. The following year, Pakistan toured Sri Lanka and played three One Day International matches, losing all of their matches and their first Test match, which they also lost.
[edit] 2000s
In 2000, Pakistan toured Ireland for a five match One Day International series against Ireland. They lost the Test match by an innings inside two days and the One Day International series 4-0, with one match interrupted by rain. Their first international win, in their 19th match, came against the Netherlands in a seven match One Day International series at their home ground in 2001, a series which they won 4-3. This form did not continue into their six One Day International tour of Sri Lanka in January 2002 though and they again lost all six matches.
In 2003, Pakistan travelled to the Netherlands to take part in the Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier competition, then known as the IWCC Trophy. They finished fourth in the tournament, their victories was against Japan and Scotland, however they missing out on qualification for the 2005 World Cup. This tournament was marred by a schism between the Pakistan Women's Cricket Control Association and the Pakistan Cricket Board. The IWCC did not recognise the Pakistan Cricket Board as the governing body of women's cricket in Pakistan and court cases were brought in Pakistan.[1] The Pakistan Cricket Board announced that they would not be sending a team to the tournament and that no other team should be allowed to represent the country in the competition.[2] This problem has since been overcome with the International Cricket Council requirement that women's associations and men's associations are unified under one single governing body.
In 2004 saw the West Indies tour Pakistan, playing seven One Day International matches and a Test match. The test match was drawn and West Indies won the One Day International series 5-2, but those two victories for Pakistan were their first against a Test playing nation.
In 2005, Pakistan Cricket Board established a Women's Wing to oversee all Cricket Affair under the Pakistan Cricket Board's control and to unite all the conflicts between various associations. The first international event was when Indian Under 21 team toured Pakistan, becoming the first Indian women's side to tour the country. This paved the way for Pakistan to host the second Women's Asia Cup in December 2005/January 2006. They lost all their games however, finishing last in the three team tournament. The tournament featured the first match between the Indian and Pakistani women's cricket teams.
Cricket is currently seen as an improvement for women's rights in Pakistan. When sisters Shaiza and Sharmeen Khan first tried to introduce women's cricket in 1996, they were met with court cases and even death threats. The government refused them permission to play India in 1997 and ruled that women were forbidden from playing sports in public due to the religious issues. However, things have changed in Pakistan, although female players have to follow a professional rule and behave in an appropriate manner in public.[3][4]
Early in 2007, the Pakistan squad toured South Africa and played in a five match, One Day International series. During that year, Pakistan was awarded to Host the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifiers in which eight Teams were scheduled to participate, all the arrangements were almost done when unfortunately the Events was postponed due to political instability and was moved to South Africa. Pakistan Women Team qualified for the ICC Women World Cup by defeating Ireland, Zimbabwe, Scotland and Netherlands. They qualified for this tournament after defeating Hong Kong in a three match series in Pakistan in September 2006.
