Only needed to think about it for a minute: Zahid
Hijab Zahid said she was very confident after receiving the offer and is aware of the difficulties playing as a woman on a men’s squad. She anticipates having a lot of seminars and discussions with players to describe the role she will play.

In spite of their own faults, there are people in our sector who have never interacted with women. Our is especially true given the current power structure. As a result, I anticipate there will be many discussions and seminars on having a woman in a management position here, according to Zahid.
