‘Girls upset’ but preparation for T20 WC in full swing
Women’s wing head of Bangladesh Cricket Board Habibul Bashar insisted that even though the girls are upset about missing out on playing the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup on home soil, it won’t hamper their preparation for the global tournament.
‘There is every possibility of bigger humiliations’
