The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has awarded Women Domestic Contracts formally to 65 cricketers on the 2025-26 season, consisting of 23 U19 and upcoming stars. The contracts are the first divisions into Gold and Silver, with 20 players given the Gold, and 45 Silver. The contracts will be active between July 2025 and June 2026, including several domestic and U19 tournaments throughout Pakistan.
The selection was made not just based on previous performance, but also on potential and demonstration of skills in the recent domestic events. The final list of 65 players was suggested by the Women National Selection Committee that included former Test cricketer Asad Shafiq and former Pakistan women international Batool Fatima. There is still a chance that players outside this bracket can contract in future by showing that they have talent in future regional camps and domestic competitions.
The holders of gold contracts are Anam Amin, Ayesha Zafar, Kaynat Hafeez, and Zaib-un-Nisa whereas the renowned Silver and emerging are Aleena Masood, Areesha Noor, Haniah Ahmer, and Syeda Batool Fatima.
