Tammy Beaumont believes Women's League will help Pakistan unleash new talent.

ISLAMABAD -- English cricketer Tammy Beaumont believes that a tournament similar to the Pakistan Super League (PSL) for women will help Pakistan unleash new talent and prepare her Pakistani players for international tours.

The 32-year-old has played 103 WODIs, 99 WT20Is, and seven women's Test matches for England. She is currently in Pakistan to play three exhibition matches on the sidelines of PSL as a soft launch of the country's women league.

The experienced cricketer said that having leagues are important for the development of cricket and Pakistan's league is a step in the right direction.

'The countries that have had franchise leagues for quite a long time, their young players come into the national international stage and they're just ready to perform straight away. They know what playing under pressure is like, they know their games and they know in a pressure situation what they're going to go to. I think that's really important, it's great to see that Pakistan are jumping on board as well,' she said.

She gave the example of her compatriot Alice Capsey 'who burst on the scene' at the age of 16 and is now part of the England team.

'I think it's really clear that franchise leagues can unearth talent that maybe hasn't gone through a normal pathway or worked its way up at the same time,' Beaumont told Geo News.

She highlighted that franchise leagues can also help girls opt for sports...
