LAHORE (Pakistan): Diana Baig shifts restlessly in her seat, checking her watch every few seconds at an awards ceremony after leading her cricket team to victory. "You know, in Asia, there is more charm in cricket," she says, acknowledging her playing for the football team is the harder road.She adds: "I see my future better in cricket." Soon she has to play a football match at another venue, and time is ticking.Baig is no stranger to the pressure. In 2015 she finally won her first international cap, playing for Pakistan against Bangladesh.But Baig says she had her moments of despair along the way. I play football in the morning, then our cricket training starts around 11 or 12 noon and continues until 3:00 pm or 4:00 pm.
