Sana Mir dropped a political bomb while commentating during the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 match between Pakistan Women's National Cricket Team and Bangladesh Women's National Cricket Team on Thursday, October 2.
After winning the toss and opting to bat first, the Pakistan Women's team displayed a horrible performance and they kept losing wickets at regular intervals, eventually getting bundled out for 129 in 38.3 overs.
While talking about Natalia Pervaiz on-air, Sana Mir dropped a politically loaded remark, saying that the bowler comes from "Azad Kashmir". She said:
This triggered a massive controversy, and Sana Mir received brutal bashing from the Indians for referring to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) as Azad Kashmir.
Despite knowing the political implications and controversy surrounding India and Pakistan over the Asia Cup 2025, Sana Mir dropping such a pathetic remark on-air raises a question whether it was an intentional move by the former skipper to trigger further controversy. A commentator of an ICC event should be more responsible and realise what impact their words have on people, and Sana Mir should be condemned for her remark.

She became the first Pakistani woman and only the second player overall to suffer this mode of dismissal in Women’s World Cup history after Lynette Smith. Also, the wicket places her alongside Pakistan’s male cricketers Misbah-ul-Haq and Imam-ul-Haq, both of whom experienced hit-wicket dismissals in ODI World Cups.
