Police officer appointed as pakistan women's team manager

Lahore, June 27: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has stirred debate by appointing a police officer, Hina Manwar, as the team manager for the upcoming women Asia Cup, sidelining a key member of the support staff in a surprising move.
Hina Manwar, who previously served as chief security officer, now transitions to the managerial role within the PCB Women's team, marking a rapid rise through the ranks. Her career in law enforcement, including notable roles in Swat and as the first woman district officer in the Frontier Constabulary, highlights her credentials.
Critics express concerns over the prioritization of non-cricketing appointments, fearing potential impacts on team fitness and performance. The recent replacement of the strength and fitness coach has raised eyebrows among fans, emphasizing the crucial role fitness plays in player performance and injury prevention.
As the Asia Cup looms, attention will be closely focused on how these changes affect team dynamics and overall performance. The PCB's decision underscores ongoing challenges in balancing administrative priorities with athletic needs in cricket management.
