‘Hosting this tour of Pakistan Women is incredibly important to us as this will give our Proteas Women much-needed game time and also bring in revenue that funds the entire game of cricket, especially during these difficult times. We enjoy a very good working relationship with the Pakistan Cricket Board and look forward to hosting their ladies side in what promises to be an exciting tour in the new year,’ he added.
