All-rounder Najia Alvi also expressed optimism about the team’s preparation, stating, “We have worked a lot on our fitness and skills during the camp. We have been training twice a day, focusing on both practice sessions and conditioning drills.”
She assured fans that their hard work would be visible in the qualifiers, adding, “We have been putting in immense effort day and night, and you will see the results in the qualifiers, InshaAllah.”
Najia further acknowledged the significance of hosting a major international event in Pakistan, saying, “After the Champions Trophy, this is the second biggest cricket event happening in Pakistan. We are determined to make the most of our home conditions and qualify for the World Cup.”
