Pakistan’s female cricketer Diana Baig says she plans to help female sports stars of Gilgit-Baltistan in terms of their future.

“I started at the age of 15 to 16 years and I had to struggle a bit,” the fast-bowler said. “I faced difficulties in finding grounds to train. Then I shifted to Islamabad for that.”

“I don’t want the girls from Gilgit to face the problems that I went through. My plan is to help them secure their future.”
