Pakistan names 15-member squad for Zimbabwe ODI series; Sana to lead

Pakistan has announced a 15-member squad, led by Fatima Sana, for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe. The series is part of the ICC Women's Championship, and Momina Riasat has received her maiden call-up to the ODI side.

Pakistan on Sunday announced a 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe, set to begin on May 4, as part of the ICC Women's Championship 2025-2029 build-up ahead of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in June. Momina Riasat has earned her maiden call-up to the ODI side for this important assignment, according to the ICC.

The side will be led by Fatima Sana, who will be aiming to bounce back after Pakistan's recent white-ball series defeat against South Africa, where they lost both the ODI and T20I series 2-1 during their tour.

Pakistan are currently placed fifth in the ICC Women's Championship 2025-2029 points table with two points after notching up a win in the ODI series against South Africa earlier this year.

Zimbabwe will be on their maiden tour of Pakistan for the white-ball series and will arrive in Karachi on 29 April before training at the National Bank Stadium from 30 April to 3 May. The second and third ODIs will be played on May 6 and May 9, respectively, followed by a three-match T20I series commencing on May 12. All the matches will be played at the National Bank Stadium, Karachi.
