‘PCB and CWG management took care of my baby well’ Bismah Maroof

BIRMINGHAM: Pakistan women’s team captain Bismah Maroof praised the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Commonwealth Games management’s role in caring for her young daughter and revealed it was not easy traveling with the baby.

Speaking to this reporter, Bismah stated that the matchup against the arch-rivals was always exciting and the team did their best to win the tough matches.

“Matches against India were always exciting and entertaining,” he said. “We lost the tough games, but we did our best to win those games.”

The Pakistan women’s hopes of winning a medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games were dashed after they were beaten by Barbados in their opening match and then faced a landslide 8-wicket win by India the other day. The Green Shirts currently sit last in their pack.

“We know that we did not meet people’s expectations, but in the future we will perform well,” he added.

Speaking about work-life balance in regards to caring for her daughter while participating in the event, Bismah said that her mother was very helpful in caring for her baby.

“My mother accompanied me to the event and she helps a lot in the care of the child,” he said.

“The PCB and Commonwealth Games management have been immensely supportive in caring for my daughter,” she added.

“It is not easy to travel with the baby but we do everything possible so as not to have to face any difficulties,” he concluded.

It is pertinent to mention here that Bismah had already traveled with her daughter and her mother to New Zealand for the ICC Women’s World Cup held earlier this year thanks to the PCB’s maternity policy.
