Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced the 14-member women’s team for the upcoming tour in Northern Ireland against Ireland yesterday.
They will play two T20 internationals and two ODIs during their tour.
Bangladesh team will travel to Northern Ireland on September 2. They are scheduled to meet the Irish side in the T20 internationals on September 5 and 6 respectively followed by the ODIs on September 8 and 10 correspondingly.
All the matches will be held at the Bready Cricket Club in Londonderry.
The Bangladesh side has lost the services of ace all-rounder Salma Khatun who has been ruled out due to a shoulder injury but BCB’s Selector for Women’s Cricket Team and manager for the tour Athar Ali Khan was confident that the squad still had a lot to offer: “We will definitely miss the experience of Salma who is one of the leading players in the world. She did join the camp but could not bowl and we thought it was in the best interest of the team that she was given time to recover as we have a long season ahead with the Asia Cup, World Cup qualifiers and hopefully the World Cup coming. However, we still have a lot of variation in bowling, especially in the spin department. There are two leg spinners (Fahima Khatun and Rumana Ahmed) and Nahida (Akter) is a wily left-arm spinner. Newcomer Jannatul Ferdous is a very exciting prospect who bowls off-break, can bat in the middle order and is a fine fielder. She has caught the eye”
Squad: Sanjida Islam, Fahima Khatun, Ayesha Rahman, Jahanara Alam, Fargana Hoque, Nahida Akter, Lata Mondol, Panna Ghosh, Rumana Ahmed, Khadija Tul Kobra, Nigar Sultana, Suraiya Azmin, Ritu Moni and Jannatul Ferdus
