The 29-year-old confirmed the news on the popular social media site Twitter today. “I am delighted to announce that I am entering a new chapter in my life as motherhood beckons,” Bismah wrote.
“I would like to wish the Pakistan women's team the very best as I take an indefinite break from cricket. Request for prayers and support. Thank you!”
