Sharmeen Said Khan (1 April 1972 – 13 December 2018) was a Pakistani cricketer who played as a right-handed batter and right-arm medium-fastbowler. She along with her sister, Shaiza, are considered pioneers of women's cricket in Pakistan.[1]
After studying in England and watching the 1993 World Cup final, the siblings were inspired to create their own team. They also played a match for Middlesex in 1991, against East Anglia.[6] In 1997, they secured the right to have a Pakistani women's team, with the side playing its first matches that year, touring Australia and New Zealand before playing at the 1997 World Cup.[7][4]
Sharmeen Khan died on 13 December 2018 after a struggle with pneumonia.[7]
