PCB to create history by naming enclosures of Bugti cricket stadium after former women's cricketers of Pakistan cricket team

Lahore: For the first time in the history of cricket any enclosure of a cricket stadium will be named after women cricketers. Pakistan Cricket Board has decided to name the enclosures of Bugti Cricket Stadium after former Pakistan Women’s Team all-rounder Sana Mir (Sana Mir Enclosure) and former star batter Kiran Baluch. According to the announcement made by PCB, star all-rounder Shahid Afridi, most successful Test leader Misbah-Ul-Haq, spinning wizard Saeed Ajmal, and leading Test batter Yonis Khan, are among the cricketers after whom the enclosures of Bugti Stadium will be named.

Chairman PCB Najam Sethi said that by naming the enclosures after star cricketers the cricket board is recognising the contribution made by the players for Pakistan cricket. He added that the decision would help promote cricket in Balochistan and tell the world about the stars of Pakistan. Najam Sethi further said that PCB wants to empower women’s cricket and bring girls towards the game which is why the board would name enclosures after Kiran Baluch & Sana Mir.

Similarly, former captain of Pakistan men’s team and star all-rounder Shahid Khan Afridi thanked PCB and said that the next generation of cricketers in Quetta will be motivated while playing in the Bugti Stadium.

The complete list of cricketers who got the honour to have an enclosure by their name is:

  • Shahid Afridi – Held the record of fastest ODI century for over a decade. He anchored Pakistan to lift the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2009.
