      <title>Pakistani women batter Ayesha ‘retires’ from cricket</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30328115/pakistani-women-batter-ayesha-retires-from-cricket</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistani women’s cricket team batter Ayesha Naseem has announced her retirement from the sports to “live life according to Islam”, according to media reports.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Journalist Shoaib Jatt, in a tweet, said that Ayesha Naseem retired from cricket at the peak of her cricket career.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--embed  media--uneven'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;
    &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/Shoaib_Jatt/status/1681961305253584896?s=20"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“She has decided to live her life according to Islam and has informed the cricket board,” he wrote.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ayesha, 18 years old, Pakistan national cricket team all-rounder is considered one of the strongest hitters in the women’s game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She represented Pakistan in four ODIs and 30 T20Is. In her stint in the T20Is, she played with a strike rate of 128.12, scoring 369 runs with the career-best figures of 45 not out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch  media--embed  media--uneven'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;
    &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/cricketcomau/status/1617730159381213186?"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of Ayesha’s memorable innings came during the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 when the right-handed batter smashed 25-balls 43 against India with the help of two boundaries and as many maximums.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a similar fashion, she smashed 24 runs off 20 balls against the formidable Australian team during the T20 World Cup 2022.&lt;/p&gt;
