Sri Lanka has a lot of courage sending another team after what happen to their cricket team...guess the once bitten twice shy rule does not apply to them. Good Luck girls i shall pray for your safety.

@Imran muhammad Which planet do you live in? It is easy to blame "Americans" for everything, rather than the perpetrators, because then you dont have to do anything. It is individuals like you who are responsible for letting the taliban and other criminals run wild in Pakistan without being punished for their brutal murders.

It is good to see that we have now acknowledge the rights of equality in our country.
There was time when sports for women was challenged in our country.
Good Luck Partners!

Yes indeed, bend it like Beckham, teach the boys, how to play. After the games are over, Pakistan should play host to the ladies and take them for a tour of this country. There is a lot to see and a lot to learn and lot of good will to be earned and shared. That would be something to Pakistan's benefit.

Sri Lankan women are in shorts and Afghan women are not. Neither of them is wearing head dress. What do Pakistani players wear?
