3 players who can replace Bismah Maroof as Pakistan's captain
These players' experience and stunning international figures could help them become the leader of the pack after Maroof's resignation.
1. Aliya Riaz
Aliya Riaz has bagged a lot of games for Pakistan using her superb match-finishing ability. Since 2014, she has been contributing to the team as an ideal batting all-rounder. With her potential to hit the ball cleanly, she strengthens the lower middle order of the team with her bat.
Till now, Riaz has accumulated 784 runs with a half-century in 72 T20I at a strike rate of 92.45. In T20Is, the veteran has piled up 985 runs with six half-centuries in 53 ODIs at a strike rate of 63.75. Talking about her bowling, the 30-year-old has trapped 25 batters using her medium-pace as a weapon.
With her numbers and experience in international cricket, she might become a reliable option for PCB to fill the post of skipper. In the domestic circle, she captained PCB Blasters in the PCB Women’s Twenty20 Tournament, and considering that, the board and the team management may not hesitate to assign her the role of a skipper to lead the side.
