Former Pakistan women’s cricket captain Sana Mir has spoken out after facing criticism from Indian fans. She urged people not to politicize her commentary during the ICC Women’s World Cup.
Some Indian viewers accused her of being biased in recent matches. However, Sana clarified that her role is to analyze cricket, not to create political debates.
Focus on the Game, Not Politics
She reminded fans that cricket should remain a space for talent and sportsmanship. In her words, mixing politics with the sport takes attention away from the real stars, the players.
Sana stressed that women’s cricket is expanding worldwide. Therefore, the focus should stay on encouraging athletes and celebrating their skills. “We must support players for their dedication, not drag every statement into politics,” she explained.
Mixed Reactions on Social Media
Her statement sparked lively conversations online. While a few critics questioned her, many fans and experts stood by her. Supporters argued that commentators should be judged for their analysis, not their nationality.
A Voice for Women’s Cricket
Sana Mir, who played more than 200 international matches for Pakistan, remains a pioneer of the women’s game. Her shift into commentary has made her one of the most respected female analysts worldwide.
As the World Cup continues, she urged everyone to unite and cheer for the sport. She believes cricket should act as a bridge between nations, not a divider.
By reminding fans to keep politics out, Sana once again highlighted the true spirit of cricket: fairness, respect, and passion.
