Pakistani coach for Iranian women
CRICKET: KARACHI, Aug 14 (AFP) - A female Pakistani coach will guide
Iran's young women cricketers in their preparations for an Asia-level
tournament later this year, the Pakistan board announced on Saturday.
The Iranian team will compete in the Asian Cricket Council's Under-19
Women's Championship in Singapore from October 4-14. "Ms Hajira Sarwar
will help Iran's Under-19 team on the request of Iran Cricket
Federation," a Pakistan Cricket Board release said.
Teams from Bhutan, China, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Malaysia, Nepal, Oman,
Qatar, Singapore, Thailand and United Arab Emirates will also compete in
the event.
Sarwar will be the second Pakistani coach to help Iran's female
cricketers after Shamsha Hashmi trained them a few years ago, the
release said.
