Sana Mir, ex-Pakistan captain and commentator, has sparked controversy during the Women’s World Cup match between Pakistan and Bangladesh on Thursday, October 2. During the match at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, she referred to Natalia Pervaiz as a player from Azad Kashmir. Pervaiz hails from Bandala in Bhimber district of Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK), which is also being referred to as Azad Kashmir. Mir noted that although Pakistan had won the World Cup Qualifiers earlier this year, many players, including Parvez, were relatively new.
General What Sana Mir said
Mir highlighted that Pervaiz plays most of her cricket in Lahore, emphasising the challenges faced by players from remote regions in gaining national-level exposure. “Yes, they have won the qualifiers, but a lot of these players are new. Natalia, who comes from Kashmir, Azad Kashmir, plays in Lahore, a lot of cricket. She has to come to Lahore to play most of her cricket there,” Mir was heard saying on commentary.
