Earlier, this year Fawad Khan was appointed as Islamabad United's team ambassador when the first season of Pakistan Super League was about to kick off in Dubai. Khan proved to be lucky for the team as it won the first series of the professional franchise Twenty20 men's cricket league.
Our women's cricket team is one of the best in the world and recently, they won the T20 World Cup 2016. Batting against India, the team won at a time when our men’s team lost, proving how determined and focused these ladies are.
Fawad welcomed the team on board in order to further the women empowerment programme Islamabad United has launched. Talking about what the team has in store for the coming year Fawad said,
“This year, we will be branching out in doing various activities together.”
