Boosting the team’s confidence, Bismah added, “We need to believe in ourselves that we can achieve it”.
Recalling unsatisfactory performance 0f the team last time they played a mega event, Bismah Maroof said, “We did not perform up to the mark last year. There were individual performances, but now it is due on us to perform up to the mark.”
Bismah represented the energetic leader she is, motivating the girls to give their best. She said, “Let’s do good things to make everyone proud of us.”
Setting the target for the team, Bismah officially began Pakistan’s preparations for the World Cup.

The goal that we have set cannot be achieved alone. We are a team, and if we work towards it together, we will be able to achieve it.”
Bismah Maroof took a long break from cricket as she gave birth to a baby girl. Now, Bismah is back in the team leading from the front.
