All-rounder Bismah Maroof has been named as Pakistan captain ahead of West Indies series, which will be part of the ICC Women's Championship. The 27-year-old had undergone a serious surgery last year. In her absence, Javeria Khan led the team as a stand-in at the 2018 ICC Women's World T20 in the Caribbean. Javeria continued to head the team even after Bismah returned.

"Star batter Bismah Maroof returns to lead the side after undergoing successful surgery," ICC quoted Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), as saying on Wednesday.
