Nigar Sultana, the captain of Bangladesh's women's team, aspires to leave a lasting impression during the upcoming Women's World Cup.
Bangladesh is preparing to make a mark in their second consecutive Cricket World Cup, with the team showing promising signs of success. The squad for the 2025 tournament, scheduled to start on an unspecified date, has been announced, featuring a mix of experienced players and new talents.
Sharmin Akhter, a key player for Bangladesh, will be batting at number three. Akhter, who was the highest run-scorer for Bangladesh during the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Pakistan, is expected to bring her formidable batting skills to the table.
The captain of the team for the upcoming World Cup is Nigar Sultana Joty. Joty, who led the team to their first match win in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022 against Pakistan, will continue to captain the team for the 2025 edition. Seven players from Bangladesh's 2022 Cricket World Cup squad will return for the 2025 edition, including Joty, Fargana Hoque, Sharmin Akhter, Nahida Akter, and Ritu Moni.
Fargana Hoque, who was the top scorer in Bangladesh's first World Cup win against Pakistan, has been selected for the upcoming World Cup. Bangladesh's spin bowlers were key to their success in the Qualifier, and Nahida Akter, the leading wicket-taker for Bangladesh in ODI and T20I formats, will continue to be a crucial player for the team.
Bangladesh's campaign for the 2025 World Cup will begin against Pakistan on October 2, in Colombo. The team is confident about their performance, aiming to build on their success from the Qualifier and make a significant impact in the tournament.
Nigar Sultana Joty has expressed excitement and hope for her team, asking for prayers from the Bangladeshi people and fans worldwide. The team's intense preparations for the World Cup have been underway, with the aim of bringing glory to Bangladesh in the global cricket arena.
The 2025 Cricket World Cup, like the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022, is scheduled to start on September 30. With the team's strong lineup and high spirits, Bangladesh is poised to make a memorable run in the tournament.
