Women cricketers

Published February 5, 2013

This is with reference to the four articles on the debacle of Pakistan men's cricket team (Feb 5); so far not a squeak from cricket writers on the sound thrashing of Pakistan’s women cricket team at the current ICC Women's World Cup.

Why is there no proper coverage of this event? Is this because the PCB is blatantly discriminating against women cricket because women are playing, and women are not important enough to be supported? This is gross discrimination on the basis of gender.
