Bismah interacted with the media in the scheduled press conference ahead of the T20I series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka and clarified that she does not hold any grudge against the right-handed batter Javeria.

The all-rounder also opined on the inclusion of the two uncapped players in the squad and claimed to have been playing with them for a long time.
“I have been playing for a long time with the newly included players, so there is nothing that they are new for me or am I unaware of their capabilities,” she concluded.
It is apropos to mention here that the three-match T20I series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka will kick off tomorrow, while the second and third T20I will be contested on May 26 and 28.
