LAHORE, June01(ABC): Commonwealth Games Federation was greeted with a lot of flak after it didn’t allow Maroof’s daughter and mother to travel with the cricketer. However, the PCB confirmed that the federation changed its decision.
Pakistan women’s team captain Bismah Maroof and her family will be accommodated at the Commonwealth Games village in Birmingham, England in July so she can be with her infant daughter during the event, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Tuesday.
The Commonwealth Games Federation drew flak after media reports said Maroof’s daughter had been denied accreditation, which would require the Pakistan batter to stay outside the Games village during the tournament.
The PCB confirmed such a situation has been averted and named an 18-member squad under Maroof for a tri-series in Belfast followed by the Games.
