According to PCB’s policy, female cricketers are allowed to have a 12-months paid leave prior to the child’s birth as well as they are allowed to take along the baby and a caretaker of their choice during the tours.
Pakistan women’s team is currently playing World Cup 2022 in New Zealand, while Bismah Maroof’s daughter and mother are also with her.
