The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has granted the 24-year-old all-rounder a partial No Objection Certificate (NOC) to play in the English tournament. As the series against Sri Lanka overlaps with The Hundred from July 23 to August 4, she will captain Pakistan in the ODI series before missing the entire T20I leg.
