PCB named the enclosure at Quetta’s Buguti Stadium in honor of former Women’s Test batter Kiran Bharuch and former captain Sana Mir. Former men’s captain Miss Baul He Huck, Shahid He Afridi and Eunice Khan are among his other players included on his 10-man list whose names appear on the stadium casing. This is the first time a stadium in Pakistan has a stand named after a female cricketer.
Mohammad Yousuf, Saeed Ajmal, Saqlain Mushtaq, Shoaib Khan (the only international player from Balochistan) and Shoaib Malik completed his list of ten players to be honored in this way.
He has only one international match held at Buguti Stadium.
His ODI between Pakistan and Zimbabwe in 1996. However, it has a PSL exhibition match on February 5th and has been flagged as a potential venue for next year’s PSL. The head of PCB’s new steering committee, Najam Sethi, raised the issue earlier this month, saying Quetta would be included on the 2023 PSL host list for the first time, but said the city would be on the final fixture list. PCB later said plans had changed due to logistical concerns, but Peshawar would be added as a host next year.
Now, according to a PCB statement, the move to rename the enclosure is “a move by PCB to improve, enhance and improve the spectators and playing facilities at Buguti Stadium in recognition of Pakistan’s contribution and services to cricket.” It is also in line with our plans and aspirations, and we will improve it for future high-profile venues.”
The stadium is owned by the local government, but he was turned over to PCB in 2001 after the board reached an agreement to improve and maintain the site. There are two large built-up grandstands and two pavilions with open grandstands on the north and south sides.
Quetta city is the capital of Balochistan, Pakistan’s most populous but largest province. Cricket has never been as popular in Balochistan as it is elsewhere in Pakistan.The Bugti Stadium has hosted national competitions since 1954, but not on an ongoing basis. From 1977 to 2004, Pakistan’s premier tournament, the Quad Azam Trophy, was not held for 27 consecutive years. After a 12-year absence from 2007 to his 2019, 2019 saw him have four top-flight games. A particular obstacle for cricket hosting Quetta is the weather in the region. Pakistan’s domestic season runs from he October to he March, and winter temperatures in Quetta during this time range from 4 to 6 degrees Celsius.
Regarding the naming of the stands, Sethi said the idea was to further promote cricket in the region and to attract girls from the region to the sport by naming female cricketers.
“The contributions of these 10 cricketers of his are admirable and it is important that the stands at Bugti Stadium are named after them to honor their achievements and achievements,” Sethi said. rice field. “This is PCB’s small token of appreciation to these players and will help raise the profile of the Pakistani star as well as game development in Balochistan. “The participation of Kiran Bharuch and Sana Mir reflects PCB’s vision and efforts to empower women and inspire young girls to participate in this great game and represent their country on the international stage. We are confident that more girls will take up the sport in Balochistan and PCB will do everything in its power to develop women’s football in the region.”
