Leagues Participation

Rameen Shamim built her career through Pakistan’s domestic system and national-team pathway, but she did not take part in any major overseas franchise leagues.

Domestic career

Rameen Shamim built her game inside Pakistan’s regional and departmental system, starting with Karachi Women in the National Women’s Cricket Championship during the 2011/12 season. Early scorecards show that she bowled tight spells for Karachi and later spent a season with Sindh, which placed her in a competitive environment for young spinners. In 2014, she moved to Omar Associates, a department side known for stronger internal competition and better training blocks. Over the next two seasons, she played for Saif Sports Saga in both the one-day championship and the Women’s Cricket Challenge Trophy, gaining regular overs and game time in conditions that demanded control rather than attacking spells.

She returned to Karachi Women in 2017, completing a cycle through the main teams that shaped Pakistan’s domestic women’s cricket before the PCB reforms. By the early 2020s, her domestic record had crossed 50 List A matches and more than 60 wickets, supported by steady T20 returns for departmental and regional sides. These numbers, together with her consistency across tournaments, placed her in the PCB’s extended squads and later in the Pakistan Women's A setup. Her grounding in Karachi, Sindh, Omar Associates, and Saif Sports Saga explains the technical discipline she brought to international cricket and the leadership roles she later took on in the A-team series.
