Terming Pakistani female cricketers as ‘heroes’, the Australian batting consultant of Pakistan’s women cricket team, Andy Richards, has said that girls from Pakistan deserve to be playing in leagues like Women Big Bash League.

Talking to media in Karachi, the former Brisbane Heats coach from Australia said that Pakistani girls have already done a lot to be at a place where they’re at the moment.

Richards told media in Karachi.“You've got athletes that are a force to just to be here, to be where they are right now, these girls are heroes, they have overcome some extraordinary obstacles in this country to play cricket at this level where they are, and to be honest they’re more resilient than people in my country live with,”.

And this strength, according to Richards, makes Pakistani girls – at least three to four of them – capable of playing in Women Big Bash League.
