Salma Returns for India Women’s Series
The India women’s cricket team is set to embark on a highly anticipated tour of Bangladesh next month. The white-ball series, which consists of three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and as many Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), promises to be an exciting contest between the two neighboring nations.
In preparation for the upcoming series, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced its 20-member preliminary squad for the matches against India. Some notable changes have been made to the team composition, with experienced players Jahanara Alam and Rumana Ahmed being left out of the squad. However, a familiar face, Salma Khatun, makes a comeback to the side after being dropped from the previous series against Sri Lanka.
The selected players will converge in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, this Friday, and the training camp will kick off the following day. The Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, located in Mirpur, will serve as the venue for all the matches in the series. Notably, this will be the first time in 11 years that Mirpur hosts a women’s international game, with the last one taking place in 2012 when the Bangladesh women’s team faced off against South Africa.
One of the highlights of the series is the inclusion of the three ODIs as part of the ongoing 2022-2025 International Cricket Council (ICC) Women’s Championship. This championship, contested by ten teams, holds significant importance as it will determine qualification for the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup. The matches between India and Bangladesh will be crucial for both teams, as they strive to secure their places in the prestigious tournament.
The Indian women’s team is scheduled to arrive in Dhaka on July 6, marking the beginning of the highly anticipated series. The action will commence with the three T20Is, set to take place on July 9, 11, and 13 respectively. Following the T20Is, the focus will shift to the three ODIs, which are slated for July 16, 19, and 22. Cricket enthusiasts and fans from both nations eagerly await the showdown, hoping to witness thrilling encounters and memorable performances.
Preliminary squad announced by the Bangladesh Cricket Board:
Nigar Sultana Joty, Sobhana Mostary, Murshida Khatun, Lata Mondol, Nahida Akter, Fariha Islam Trisna, Shanjida Akter Meghla, Disha Biswas, Rabeya Khan, Shorna Akter, Sharmin Akter Supta, Sultana Khatun, Marufa Akter, Dilara Akter, Shathi Rani, Ritu Moni, Salma Khatun, Shamima Sultana, Fargana Hoque Pinky, Fahima Khatun
This diverse squad comprises a blend of young talent and seasoned campaigners, all eager to make their mark in the upcoming series. With a strong pool of players to choose from, the Bangladesh women’s team will aim to give a tough fight to the Indian side.
As the series draws closer, both teams will be engaged in rigorous training sessions and strategic planning to gain a competitive edge over their opponents. The players will be honing their skills and working on their individual and team dynamics under the watchful eyes of the coaching staff.
Cricket fans, especially those in Bangladesh and India, are eagerly counting down the days until the first match. The series presents a fantastic opportunity for the women’s game to shine and further promote the growth of women’s cricket in the subcontinent and beyond. With the backdrop of the Women’s Cricket World Cup qualification on the line, the stakes are higher than ever, ensuring that the matches will be fiercely contested and closely followed by cricket enthusiasts worldwide.
