The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has addressed former women\u2019s cricket captain Sana Mir\u2019s recent remarks on social media, calling her statements “factually inaccurate” and urging her to verify information before sharing it publicly.<\/p>\n

Mir raised concerns about the timing of Pakistan’s domestic 50-over tournament, questioning its value after the World Cup, when the team would only play three ODIs in the build-up.<\/p>\n

In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter),\u00a0she criticised the scheduling and urged for “constructive criticism” rather than praising inefficiency.<\/p>\n

So you are ruling out Pakistan to go past group stage before the start of their campaign? What’s the point of 50 over National Championship after the WC when you are only playing 3 ODI in the build up? Important to do constructive criticism for the betterment of the country\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/Q6Gqkfnk73

A senior official from the PCB Women\u2019s Wing clarified that the National Women\u2019s One-Day Tournament, which is part of the 2025-26 domestic calendar, marks the beginning of the new season for Pakistan\u2019s women cricketers.<\/p>\n

The official dismissed Mir\u2019s remarks as “hasty” and explained that the one-day cycle will conclude with the ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup 2025, set to take place in India and Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

The PCB stressed that player welfare is a priority, detailing an intensive programme from July to November 2025, which includes two training camps, an away T20I series, a home ODI series, and the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Refuting Mir\u2019s claim, the PCB official confirmed that the National Women\u2019s One-Day Tournament would run from November 10 to 23, 2025, in Karachi, starting after the World Cup finishes.<\/p>\n

Preparations for the World Cup are already underway with a 25-day skills and fitness camp, including 50-over practice games.<\/p>\n

The board also noted that Pakistan remained unbeaten in the ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup Qualifier in April and participated in the National Women\u2019s T20 Tournament in May.<\/p>\n

In response to the PCB, Mir again posted on X, clarifying her earlier comments.<\/p>\n

With due respect, the womens cricket calendar presented on the PCB social media handle shows the overlap, which in reality is not the case, hence causing the confusion. Moving on, I’ll definitely verify my facts from reliable sources and social media publications.@TheRealPCB https:\/\/t.co\/3z3bqA991n pic.twitter.com\/Kalw5Ih6w1
