Farah Khan is a senior cricket correspondent for The Express Tribune, and one of Pakistan’s most compelling storytellers in women’s sport. A LUMS graduate, she entered cricket journalism when coverage of the women’s game was sparse, and she has since built a reputation for vivid, meticulously researched profiles of female cricketers. Farah follows the Pakistan women’s team across ICC World Cups and bilateral series, but her reporting also stretches into the men’s game, particularly the PSL, where she covers emerging fast‑bowling talent with a sharp analytical eye. Her long‑form features on athletes balancing cultural expectations with professional ambition have been widely anthologised. A recipient of the Agahi Award and the PEN Pakistan Media Award, Farah is also a mentor to aspiring female sports journalists. She believes that every scorecard conceals a human story, and she remains committed to uncovering those narratives with empathy, precision, and unshakeable professionalism.
