Pakistan women cricket team trains ahead of England ODIs, T20s

Dawn Sport

Pakistan women's cricket team is in England these days to take on the hosts in three One-Day Internationals and as many Twenty20 Internationals.

The tour is a part of the ongoing ICC Women's Championship — a two-year long ICC Women's World Cup qualification programme that will see top eight teams contest against each other in three ODIs.

The top four teams by the end of the programme will secure berths in the World Cup. Pakistan is currently placed at seven.

The tour kicks off from June 20.

The 'Girls in Green' warmed up to the task at the Fischer County Ground, Leicester.
