After the end of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 which ended with Pakistan lifting the trophy, the ICC Women s Cricket World Cup has begun.

All the matches would take place in Lahore and be accorded full Twenty20 worldwide status, the ICC said, adding "further details will be announced in due course".

Friday saw the International Cricket Council (ICC), following the conclusion of its annual meeting in London, announce that plans for a World XI to play in Pakistan later this year were "continuing to be developed". Those are the areas, especially, that I have been working on as a captain, because when this pressure builds up in a huge tournament and the opposition can intimidate you at times, so if you can hold your nerve at that time you can turn the tables. After Pakistan's stunning 180-run win over arch-rivals India in the final of the one-day global Champions Trophy tournament at The Oval last week, coach Mickey Arthur said he hoped the visit of the World XI would go ahead. The Google doodle seems to be very active and reminding all the cricket fans to stay tuned for the favorite team matches.

Sana added that their main aim is to qualify for the semis and move up in the rankings.

Sana, Pakistan's ODI captain since 2009, highlighted her team's strengths.

She said Pakistan had not played a semi-final of a big tournament as yet so that would be an wonderful thing to achieve at this point. Now it's a balance between the two.

The men's team staged one of the most astonishing sporting turnaround by winning the ICC Champions Trophy. It was something that was needed for the country, we're such a sports loving country and we have been looking for a big win for a long time now so it's awesome and the people are very happy. It is the oldest and the most prestigious tournaments in women's cricket. "The men's team, led by Sarfraz Ahmed, has shown them the way, proving how predictions can go for a toss with a few stimulating performances", Afridi further said.
