Fatima Sana Returns Home After Father's Death

Fatima Sana, captain of the Pakistan women's cricket team, is returning home from the ICC Women's T20 World Cup following the death of her father. Her absence is a significant setback for Pakistan, who are in a critical position in Group A and need to win their remaining matches against Australia and New Zealand to qualify for the semi-finals. Fatima has been a standout player in the tournament, excelling in matches against Sri Lanka and India. Vice-captain Muneeba Ali will lead the team in her absence. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Chairman Mohsin Naqvi have extended their condolences and are arranging her return to Karachi on the earliest flight. This unexpected departure leaves Pakistan with a challenging task against defending champions Australia, who have been dominant in their matches so far.
