According to the media reports, Malala also told former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja about her interest in the women’s league. It must be noted here that Ramiz launched ‘The Women’s League’ during the opening ceremony of the first-of-its-kind Pakistan Junior League (PJL) in October last year. The tournament was said to be played alongside Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 8.
