This development follows a recent shake-up in the cricket board after disappointing performances by Pakistan’s women’s team in the Asia Cup and World Cup.

The position had been vacant since Tania Malik’s resignation. Malik, who served as head for three years, stepped down citing limited authority in her role and the team’s persistent struggles on the international stage.

With her appointment, Rafia Haider has officially begun her duties, signalling a move to strengthen administrative leadership in women’s cricket in Pakistan.
