These clinics were part of the ICC's broader Cricket4Good initiative, which aims to empower young girls and promote inclusion through cricket. By connecting young participants with elite athletes, the initiative fosters a deeper love for the game while imparting invaluable life skills that extend beyond the cricket field.

In the ongoing Women's T20 World Cup, Bangladesh and Pakistan have had their fair share of trouble while pulling off results.

Pakistan stunned the Asia Cup champion, Sri Lanka in their campaign opener and went on to lose against their arch-rival India.

Bangladesh on the other hand, won their opening match against Scotland. However, they went on to lose against England in a low-scoring thriller.

Bangladesh will play their next game against West Indies with hopes of returning to winning ways on Thursday. While Pakistan will face unbeaten Australia in their next match on Friday. (ANI)
