LAHORE: (UrduPoint/UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News-Sept 13rd, 2023) The five-team U19 T20 Women cricket Tournament 2023 is all set to commence at the Lahore Country Club in Muridke from Wednesday, 13 September (today).
The tournament promises to showcase the incredible talent and passion of young female cricketers from across the nation.
The tournament will feature five teams namely Challengers, Conquerors, Invincibles, stars and Strikers.
The nine-day tournament will be conducted on round-robin basis, meaning each team will play at least four matches. The final will be played on 21 September, after the league stage is done.
The toss will take place at 0930 PST, while the first ball of the match will be bowled at 1000 PST.
The U19 T20 Women Cricket Tournament 2023 serves a perfect opportunity for the players to stake a claim in the national U19 side ahead of Pakistan U19 women’s team maiden tour to Bangladesh in January 2024.
To further incentivise the players to bring out their best performances, the PCB has also introduced financial awards to encourage the players to bring out their best. The winning team will receive PKR 0.5 million, while the runner-up will get PKR 0.3 million.
The player of the tournament will be awarded PKR25,000 and each player of the match will receive PKR10,000. The tournament’s top performers – best player, best batter, best bowler and best wicket-keeper – will be gifted kit bags to encourage them to enhance their skills and pursue their cricketing ambitions.
The PCB has also finalised the five squads, which consist of 14 players each. These squads have been selected by the national women’s selection committee headed by former Test cricketer Saleem Jaffar after country-wide open trials in eight academies last month.
