The white-ball assignment also serves as preparation for the ICC Women\u2019s Championship cycle from 2025 to 2029 and the ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup in June.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Sana\u2019s leadership, Momina Riasat has earned her first-ever ODI call-up for the series. The squad announcement sets the tone for Pakistan\u2019s comeback after a recent white-ball tour defeat to South Africa, where Pakistan lost both the ODI and T20I contests 2-1.<\/p>\n<h3>Pakistan\u2019s context and Zimbabwe tour<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Fatima Sana will captain Pakistan for a three-match ODI series vs Zimbabwe starting May 4<\/li>\n<li>Momina Riasat receives her maiden ODI selection<\/li>\n<li>The ODIs are part of build-up for the ICC Women\u2019s Championship 2025\u20132029 and the Women\u2019s T20 World Cup in June<\/li>\n<li>Pakistan are fifth in the ICC Women\u2019s Championship standings with two points<\/li>\n<li>Zimbabwe will tour Pakistan for the first time for a white-ball series<\/li>\n<li>Zimbabwe arrive in Karachi on April 29 and train at the National Bank Stadium from April 30 to May 3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pakistan currently sit fifth in the ICC Women\u2019s Championship standings with two points, after winning an ODI series against South Africa earlier in the year. With that in mind, this Zimbabwe series becomes an important opportunity to rebuild momentum in the run-up to major global tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>Zimbabwe, meanwhile, are scheduled to make their first ever visit to Pakistan for a white-ball series. The touring party will land in Karachi on April 29, then switch to a full training block at the National Bank Stadium from April 30 through May 3.<\/p>\n<h3>Venue and match dates<\/h3>\n<p>The remainder of the tour will be played entirely at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi. After the ODI series, a three-match T20I run follows, starting May 12.<\/p>\n<p>The second and third ODIs are set for May 6 and May 9. The T20I fixtures then come on May 12, May 14 and May 15, completing the six-game white-ball calendar.<\/p>\n<h3>Pakistan women\u2019s ODI squad vs Zimbabwe<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Fatima Sana
