The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 Qualifier begins on April 9 in Pakistan.
Led by captain Nigar Sultana Joty, the 15-member squad are gearing up for a do-or-die battle against West Indies, Ireland, Thailand, Scotland, and hosts Pakistan.
On Thursday, skipper Nigar Sultana Joty talked to The Daily Star’s Samsul Arefin Khan regarding her team’s preparation, expectations and chances at the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifiers
South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt says Test cricket will always be the pinnacle of the sport and believes the women's game needs to be a showcase for more red-ball matches at the elite level.
Nigar Sultana Joty-led Sheltech Cricket Club secured the Women’s Dhaka Premier League (WDPL) title on Monday with a game in hand, having picked up seven straight wins.
It was learnt that Rupali Bank witnessed a management change in recent times, and the new board is unwilling to continue their team.
Nigar Sultana Joty became the country’s first women cricketer to hit a first-class century when she reached the three-figure mark for Central Zone on the final day of their three-day match against North Zone in the first round fixture of the Women’s Bangladesh Cricket League (BCL) at the Shaheed Kamaruzzaman Stadium in Rajshahi today.
Bangladesh will look to bounce back when they face Nepal tomorrow in their second and final Super 4 fixture at the same venue.
Last year, Bangladesh not only had a decent campaign in the inaugural U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa, but they also produced players like Marufa Akter, Shorna Akter, Dilara Akter and Rabeya.
“Despite sustaining minor injuries, both players received immediate first aid and are currently under the care of the PCB medical team,” read the statement.
Healy was impressed by how quickly Australia got used to the conditions on offer in Bangladesh.
India will tour Bangladesh for a five-match T20I series in April-May, starting on 28 April. Three out of the five matches will be day-night encounters, with all the games set to be played in Sylhet.
Bangladesh pacer Fariha Trishna became the third cricketer in women’s cricket to clinch more than one hattrick in career after she attained the feat for the second time, notching a hattrick off the last three deliveries of Australia's innings in the second T20I at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Tuesday.
Bangladesh have another tough nut to crack as the Tigresses take on Australia in a three-match women's T20I series, beginning at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka today.
Bangladesh leg-spinner Fahima Khatun said that the Tigresses intend to play to their strengths to stifle Australia in order to stay alive in the three-match ODI series.
The series will be contested at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
“I think that title helped us get the attention of the people in Bangladesh and others. So, after that I think a revolution began,” said Joty
The Australian team will arrive in Dhaka on March 17. The ODIs will be played on March 21, 24 and 27 respectively.
