ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 20th Nov, 2019 ) :Former National Women's Team Skipper Sana Mir would miss the next month's ICC Women's Championship ODIs and Twenty20s against England, as the recipient of 2019 Asia Society Game Changers award, has decided to take a break from international cricket.
"I have decided to take a break from international cricket and, as such, will not be available for selection for next month's series against England. I will utilise this time to plan and reset my future objectives and targets," Sana said in a statement issued here.
