The young Pakistani player has a dual role; she represents her nation for both football and cricket. She recently represented her country in the World Twenty20 tournament held in India while also practicing for penalty shootouts in football.

A fast bowler and now an accidental footballer, Baig started her career as a cricketer, but soon the football team needed more players in their team, hence she gave it a try and represented the Pakistan National Team in the SAFF Championship which was held in Bahrain.

A defender and a fast bowler, she has rightly done justice to both her games and is a pride for her nation, setting records and a sense of freedom.
