Usman Qadir joins Women’s Ashes festivities in Melbourne

Former Pakistan international cricketer Usman Qadir is all set to be part of the Women’s Ashes Test celebrations at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

Qadir, who has retired from international cricket for Pakistan recently and now resides in Australia, will attend the Test to support and promote the women’s game as part of Cricket Australia’s (CA) special programs for the event.

The Women’s Ashes Test, scheduled to start on January 30, promises to be a vibrant celebration of cricket.

Cricket Australia (CA) has invited several notable personalities, including Usman Qadir, former Sri Lankan women’s captain Shashikala Siriwardene, and Melbourne Renegades player Ruwantha Kellopatha, to enhance the atmosphere and bring a global flavor to the festivities.

In addition to these prominent figures, various community groups and fan collectives will add their energy to the event.

The stands will come alive with performances from Sri Lanka’s Papare Band, England’s Barmy Army, and a Pakistani group led by Tariq Naveed, who made waves by purchasing 850 tickets for a Brisbane T20I last year.

Day one of the Test will highlight enthusiastic fan participation, while day three is expected to draw the largest crowd, with over 1,000 fans dressed in full fan gear, led by the Ryan and Tony Podcast group.

The 31-year-old leg-spinner, son of the legendary Abdul Qadir, played one ODI and 25 T20Is for Pakistan, claiming 32 international wickets.

After shifting to Australia, Qadir has continued to showcase his talent with the Hawkesbury Club in Sydney. He had previously played in the Big Bash League (BBL) with Perth Scorchers and Sydney Thunder.
