Pakistan women will continue to be led by Bismah Maroof, as they travel to Sri Lanka for three ODIs and three T20Is later this month. The three ODIs will be crucial to both the teams as they will look to earn key points in the ICC Women's ODI Championship 2017-2020. Opener Ayesha Zafar has been axed after failed outings against New Zealand - with scores of 2 and 0 in the two games she played.
Senior batter Nain Abidi and all-rounder Asmavia Iqbal continue to be kept out, after missing Pakistan's series against New Zealand in November last year. Aliya Riaz, who didn't feature in the Women's World Cup but returned to the side for the New Zealand ODIs, has not been included after failing to impress, but Pakistan have held onto Aiman Anwer.
The three ODIs will all be played at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla on March 20, 22, and 24.
Squad: Bibi Nahida, Sidra Amin, Javeria Wadood, Bismah Maroof (C), Fareeha Mahmood, Muneeba Ali Siddiqui, Sidra Nawaz, Sana Mir, Nida Rashid, Kainat Imtiaz, Natalia Parvaiz, Nashra Sundhu, Ghulam Fatima, Diana Baig, Aiman Anwer
