PAK-W vs ZIM-W: Sidra Amin left out of T20I series, Iram Javed makes comeback

Pakistan women’s cricket team have unveiled their squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe, beginning on May 12. Star batter Sidra Amin has been left out for the series, but has been named in the reserves along with another experienced campaigner, Diana Baig.

Sadaf Shamas, who's leading the run charts in the ongoing ODI series between the two sides, has also been added to the reserves alongside Momina Riasat and Syeda Aroob Shah. On the other hand, Iram Javed, who last played during the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 in UAE, is making a comeback to the side.

Uncapped seamer Amber Kainat has also been picked after impressing the selectors in the recently concluded National Women’s T20 Tournament, where she scalped 11 wickets in eight matches for Invincibles.

Kainat replaced Humna Bilal in the squad, who made her T20I debut on the South Africa tour in February 2026, picking up two wickets in as many games at an economy rate of 9.18. Uncapped batter Saira Jabeen, who was also a part of the South Africa tour, has retained her spot.

Just like the ongoing ODI series between the two teams, all three matches of the T20I series will also be played at the National Stadium in Karachi. Meanwhile, Pakistan have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ODI series and will be eyeing a whitewash in the third game on Saturday, May 9.
