Local matches on dusty pitches swiftly honed her skills, setting the stage for a journey that would see her evolve into a celebrated all-rounder.

Nigar’s professional debut was a display of her prodigious talent—a seamless transition from burgeoning potential to the international cricketing scene.

Whether standing tall to drive the quicker deliveries through the covers or innovatively sweeping spinners, her batting adaptability marked her as a player for all formats.

Throughout her career, Nigar's performances were a crescendo of milestones. Amongst her most cherished achievements was spearheading her national side to their first ICC Championship victory, where her versatile bowling was integral.

The match saw her stabilise the late order with a gritty half-century, followed by a spell of bowling that turned the tide in her team's favour.

While statisticians might showcase her batting averages and double-takes with the ball in hand, Nigar's impact transcends mere numbers. Her on-field charisma and poised temperament in high-pressure situations set her apart, inspiring a generation of upcoming cricketers, particularly young women aspiring to make their mark.

It wasn't just her cricket acumen that left a lasting mark, but also her warmth and mentor-like guidance to juniors.
