It seems as if even Pakistan’s women’s cricket hates the PCB. The PCB have been issued with a writ by the Lahore High Court in which the Pakistan Women’s Cricket Control Association (PWCCA) accuses the PCB of discriminating against them. They say whilst other cricket councils (e.g. Pakistan Blind Cricket Council (PBCC)) have been able to affiliate with the PCB and receive financial assistance, they have been completely ignored.
Though the case was registered two years ago, it is only now that it is making some head way.
It was in 2005 that the International Women’s Cricket Council (IWCC) merged with the ICC, but Pakistan have yet to affiliate with their women’s cricket council.
With the whole cricketing world against them, the PCB need all the support that they can get so having their own women against them is not the cleverest of things to do. Who knows, when cricket starts up again back in Pakistan, it may well be our women’s team that gets the ball rolling by playing an international match at home and proving to the men [read girls] that it is in fact safe.
The PCB need to resolve this out of court. We need our women on our side.

Yes it is indeed unfortunate that PCB hass shown this discrimatary attitude towards Pakistan Women’s Cricket Control Association. Being the pioneers in pakistan they should have been shown a lot of respect. this shows what big losers Pakistan cricket Board is. Shame on them. They shouls apologise and amend their mistake if they are gentlemen enough……..which i Doubt very much!

I agree Waheed. It will be better for them the sooner they do it. There’s no point dragging it out, in to the law courts and eventually accepting they were to blame. This will leave a bad taste in the mouth.
For the amount of money the PCB waste, I’m sure the PWCCA isn’t asking for much. Of course, it’s not just about money.
