– First-ever woman coach –
Few days back, Catherine Dalton had been announced as the new Fast Bowling Coach for Multan Sultans, ahead of 9th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
Dalton's appointment marks a historic moment, as she becomes the first woman to hold a coaching position in a top-level men's cricket team, defying stereotypes and setting new milestones in the realm of sports.
Hailing from a rich background in cricket, the former Ireland international player boasts a Level 3 Advanced Coach certification from the England Cricket Board (ECB).
