Birmingham's boldest women

Salma Bi

Salma Bi, Birmingham's boldest women nominee

I'm a Multi-National Award Winner for my contribution in cricket. With 15 Years of playing cricket all over the country, I now represent Marylebone Cricket Club.

As a Sports Coach and Director of Sporting Pathways CIC, I have had the pleasure of hosting Multi Sports Events inviting women and girls from all walks of life to participate in the sport.

In the New Year's 2021 Honours List, I was honoured with the British Empire Medal for my Services to cricket and diversity. This is a first for a female from Azad Kashmir Pakistan.

This year I was named as one of the 14 Hometown Heroes. I also look forward to the Queens Baton Relay after being selected as a Baton Bearer at the Commonwealth games 2022. As a Female Advocate and Ambassador of women's Empowerment I also like to raise awareness of Mental health & my skin condition Vitiligo.

When I am not doing my sports, I'm an Haemodialysis Sister and busy raising my family of four children.
