She landed the contract after an impressive all-rounder performance in the ongoing ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. Against South Africa, Women, Sana top-scored with 55 not out off 38 balls from No. 8, then took 3 for 16 at Edgbaston.
With the deal, she has now become the first Pakistani player to feature in the women's Hundred. Fatima Sana will join the franchise as their fourth overseas recruit after the Australian cricketer Lucy Hamilton’s exit. Cricket Australia asked Hamilton to vacate his place in the squad as his workload would be managed.
Sana's participation in The Hundred is in doubt
Phoenix secures the signing of the Pakistan all-rounder for a minimum salary of £15,000. However, her participation in the league will be under concern because of her commitments to the Pakistan national cricket team.
