LAHORE: Javeria Khan has announced her retirement from international cricket 15 years after making her ODI debut against Sri Lanka during the Women’s Asia Cup in 2008. Meanwhile, her T20I debut came against Ireland in Dublin in 2009.

Javeria went on to represent the Pakistan women’s team in 228 international matches and scored 4,903 runs, which included two centuries and 25 half-centuries. She also bagged 28 international wickets.

She is currently listed as the second leading run scorer in ODIs and T20Is for the Pakistan women’s team and is the only women’s cricketer from Pakistan to have scored over 2,000 runs in each format besides Bismah Maroof.

“I want to call it a day and announce my retirement, however, I will be available for league cricket. I am grateful to the unwavering support I received throughout my career,” Javeria Khan said while announcing her retirement.

“I want to thank my family, teammates, the Pakistan Cricket Board, my department ZTBL for their support and guidance at each step, and my fans whose appreciation was instrumental in bringing out the best in me.

“I have been blessed to hold Pakistan’s flag globally.”

Javeria Khan represented Pakistan in four 50-over World Cups (2009, 2013, 2017 and 2022) and in all eight T20 World Cups (2009, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2023) held since its inception.

She was also part of the Pakistan women’s team squad that won the Gold medal in the 2010 and 2014 Asian Games held in China and South Korea, respectively.

The right-handed all-rounder also captained the Pakistan women’s team in 17 ODIs and 16 T20Is. Among the 16 T20Is, she captained the side in two editions (2018 and 2020) of ICC Women’s T20 World Cups.

“On behalf of the PCB and all cricket fans, I extend heartfelt gratitude to Javeria Khan for her invaluable contributions to women’s cricket in Pakistan,” Head of Women’s Cricket, Tania Mallick said.

“Her glittering records with the bat speak for themselves and I am confident that her illustrious career will inspire many girls in the country to not just take up this sport but also excel at it across many years.

Javeria responds to trolls aimed at women cricketers for CWG debacle

BIRMINGHAM: National cricketer Javeria Khan lashed out at trollers for slamming women players and hurling derogatory criticism over the players’ private lives following the women’s team’s unsuccessful journey at the Commonwealth Games.

Javeria shared a message on Thursday on his Twitter account in response to widespread trolling and censuring of the women’s cricket team on social media.

“Those who do not follow women’s cricket in Pakistan consider it their inalienable right to slam the player if they underperform,” read the message that she shared on her Twitter.

The 34-year-old opined that while constructive criticism was always welcome but resorting to vile comments and attacking players’ private lives was outrageous and unwarranted.

“Teams, athletes and systems do not grow overnight. This is an evolutionary process that takes time. Women’s team needs your support and constructive criticism,” her message concluded.

The top-order batter is not a part of team’s squad for the Commonwealth Games.

It is pertinent to mention here that the national women’s side lost all three matches during the ongoing event to sit at the bottom of their group standings.

‘I do not have any rift with Javeria’ claims Bismah Maroof

Bismah interacted with the media in the scheduled press conference ahead of the T20I series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka and clarified that she does not hold any grudge against the right-handed batter Javeria.

“I do not have any rift with Javeria. It totally depends on the selectors, to whom they select in the squad,” Bismah stated.

The skipper also discussed the team’s preparations for the crucial series against Sri Lanka, stating that he is certain that the two teams would play competitive cricket, while also claiming to try adapting to the weather conditions.

“Preparations are in a great flow and we are trying to adapt to the weather conditions,” she said.

“We do not take Sri Lanka as an easy opponent. I think we would definitely witness a competitive cricket,” Bismah added.

The all-rounder also opined on the inclusion of the two uncapped players in the squad and claimed to have been playing with them for a long time.

“I have been playing for a long time with the newly included players, so there is nothing that they are new for me or am I unaware of their capabilities,” she concluded.

It is apropos to mention here that the three-match T20I series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka will kick off tomorrow, while the second and third T20I will be contested on May 26 and 28.
