Pakistan Cricketer Nida Dar Announces Return to Professional Cricket Pakistan women’s cricket team legend Nida Dar has officially announced her return to professional cricket after stepping away from the sport for an indefinite period. The former captain, who had previously taken a break from international competition, made the announcement through her social media platform, expressing her excitement about rejoining the Pakistan cricket team. Dar, a seasoned all-rounder with a career spanning over a decade, had last played for Pakistan in the T20 World Cup held in the United Arab Emirates in 2025. Following her participation in the tournament, she was removed from the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) central contract list, marking the end of her professional engagement with the national team. However, after a period of personal reflection and focusing on her fitness and mental well-being, Dar has decided to make a comeback. In a statement posted on the social media platform X, Dar shared her enthusiasm for returning to the sport. “After taking time to focus on myself and regain my strength, I am thrilled to announce my return and once again be available for the Pakistan cricket team,” she wrote. She also expressed her commitment to giving her best, working hard, and contributing to the team whenever needed. “I extend my gratitude to everyone who has supported me on this journey,” she added. Dar’s return comes after a remarkable career that has seen her represent Pakistan in a wide range of formats. She made her T20 International debut against Sri Lanka on May 6, 2010, and her One Day International (ODI) debut against Ireland on October 6, 2010. Over the years, she has become a key figure in Pakistan’s women’s cricket, accumulating impressive statistics.#pakistan_cricket_board #pakistan_cricket_team #nida_dar #t20_world_cup_2025 #khawaja_rasheed_hasan
