LAHORE: Bismah Maroof has resigned from Pakistan women’s cricket team’s captaincy to pave the way for a younger colleague to take up the role.
Taking to Twitter, PCB’s management committee chairman Najam Sethi on Wednesday confirmed he accepted the resignation of the 31-year-old all-rounder.
“(S)he will continue to play for Pakistan and bring laurels for her country,” he added.
Bimsah detached herself from the position after leading Pakistan in 27 out of 62 T20Is and 16 out of 34 ODI wins.
The left-handed batter has amassed 3,110 runs in the 50-over format, and 2,658 runs in the shorter version of the game. She also took 44 and 36 wickets respectively, with her right-arm leg break bowling in her 124 ODIs and 132 T20I appearances for the national team.
She made her international debut at the age of 15 and went on to represent Pakistan eight times at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cups- captaining the side in the last two editions.
