Pakistan's Muneeba Ali to miss Asian Games due to personal reasons

Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Muneeba Ali will miss the Asian Games 2026 for personal reasons, with no replacement named. The team cited logistical challenges and the short timeframe before the knockout competition ends on September 22.

Muneeba is understood to have withdrawn due to her mother's illness. Feroza Gull kept wickets in Pakistan's opening match against Thailand, which they won by three wickets to advance.

Pakistan will next face the winner of Sri Lanka versus Malaysia in the semi-final on Saturday.
