Ramiz Raja hints at women’s PSL for Pakistan in the near-future

Chairman says he wants PCB to be first Asian board to launch a women’s T20 league

“We talked about [improving the] pathways to professional cricket. In October next year, we’ll launch an U19 PSL. This is very exciting because it’s never happened anywhere else. England will send their U19 players, who we’ll look after. I also have the women’s PSL in my mind. We’ll become the first cricket board in Asia to launch that.”

This is the first time a PCB chairman has publicly discussed the possibility of a women’s T20 league at any level. England and Australia have had women’s T20 leagues, while The Hundred earlier this summer also had a women’s competition. The only women’s franchise-style competition in Asia right now is the Women’s T20 Challenge that the BCCI has held alongside the IPL play-offs, although it didn’t take place this year.
