The Pakistan Cricket Board are looking to launch their own franchise-based T20 league for women.

While the likes of India, England and Australia already have their own league now, the has PCB decided to take a go-slow approach in this regard to make sure they leave no stone unturned.

PCB women's wing head Rafia Haider, who visited Bangladesh recently to accompany the Pakistan Under-19 squad during their just concluded tour, in an exclusive chat with Cricbuzz insisted that they want to make sure everyone is on the same page before launching the tournament.

"It(franchise-based T20 tournament for women cricketers) is under discussion but not finalized as yet," said Rafia. "Of course it (the tournament) is going to be a huge move whenever it happens so we'll take everyone on board and do our homework properly before its fruition," she said.

Rafia added that they are taking different steps to develop women's cricket in Pakistan that includes grassroots expansion to high-performance reforms.
