Pakistan Skipper Fatima Sana Lands The Hundred Wildcard Deal With Birmingham Phoenix
Birmingham Phoenix Performance Director: Pakistan captain Fatima Sana will become the first player from her country to feature in the women’s Hundred after being signed by Birmingham Phoenix in Thursday’s wildcard draft.
Fatima has now filled the Phoenix’s fourth overseas slot, after it was vacated as Cricket Australia withdrew Lucy Hamilton to manage her workload. Fatima, the seam-bowling all-rounder, will get 15,000 pounds for playing at The Hundred, though her availability could be affected by Pakistan’s tour of Sri Lanka from July 23 to August 4.
Her selection comes a day after she produced a stunning all-round performance in Pakistan’s defeat to South Africa in the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup at Edgbaston, which is also the Phoenix’s home ground. Fatima top‑scored with an unbeaten 55 off 38 balls before picking 3-16, as South Africa scraped home by two wickets.
